gnome2: calling gnome_help_display() fails

[Vladislav Grinchenko <vladg erols com>]

Hi,

I've been struggling with this for about a week.
In my gnome2 (gnomemm2) application, call to gnome_help_display() fails
with:

Gnome-WARNING **: gnome-program.c:986: Directory properties not set
correctly.  Cannot locate application specific files.

GError reports: "Help file does not exist"

The call looks like this:

GError* error = NULL;

if (!gnome_help_display ("gwavmerger.xml", NULL, &error)) {
	// report error
	g_error_free (error);
}

If I build RPM package and install my application, Yelp loads the
manual, gwavmerger.xml, just fine.

RPM installs documentation in following directories:

/usr/share/gnome/help/gwavmerger/C/fdl-appendix.xml
/usr/share/gnome/help/gwavmerger/C/figures
/usr/share/gnome/help/gwavmerger/C/figures/gwavmerger.png
/usr/share/gnome/help/gwavmerger/C/gwavmerger.xml
/usr/share/gnome/help/gwavmerger/C/legal.xml
/usr/share/omf/gwavmerger
/usr/share/omf/gwavmerger/gwavmerger-C.omf

The category is GNOME;Applications

The spec file configures the package with like so:

	CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" \
		./configure  $ARCH_FLAGS \
			--prefix=%{prefix} \
			--datadir=%{datadir} \
			--sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir} \
			--bindir=%{_bindir} \
			--disable-maintainer-mode \
			--disable-static \
			--enable-shared

where prefix=/usr, datadir=/usr/share

and the scrollkeeper is run like so:


%post
if which scrollkeeper-update>/dev/null 2>&1; then scrollkeeper-update
-q; fi

%postun
if which scrollkeeper-update>/dev/null 2>&1; then scrollkeeper-update
-q; fi

My application is compiled against libgnome-2.1.1, libgnomeui-2.1.2.

Any ideas would be highly appreciated.

P.S. I have looked at gnome-utils and gnome-docu/gdp/gdp-example2 from
CVS.
