What's wrong with sudo apt-get install xchm ? This is really not the "Ubuntu" way to do it, as you are using Debian's own, wich might or might not work.

sry for the double post, but, it appears that this package dont actually work.. i believe its a proglem with

gnome-python2-gtkhtml2

running a sample browser script

rob@sn0nsb0x:~$ python /usr/share/doc/python2.4-gnome2-extras/examples/gtkhtml2/simple-browser.py

i get many errors, and it wont work..

/me shrugs

was worth the try anyways.. back to xchm :-(

I've been looking for this :)
for me gnochm is much more better than xchm.
maybe gnochm must be included in the next release of ubuntu :D

Try it again, after installation of the two .deb contained in the tarball you need to open synaptic.
You will get a message "2 broken packages". You do following:

1. Edit-->Fix broken packages
2. You get a message "successfully fixed dependency problems"
3. Click "Apply" - synaptic will install libgtkhtml2-0 and its dependant packages for you

Now gnochm will work for you :) . It is definitely better than xchm, i use it for months.

I am getting this on tar jxcpf gnochm.tar.bz2
tar: You may not specify more than one `-Acdtrux' option

Any ideas?
