Xchm won't view CHM files!

[front243]

Hi,

I have tried to install the xchm package, but this far I have been unable to view any CHM files with it!

I have tried I think at least 10 different chm files without luck.

I did a search on this forum, and there was one more with the same problem, so do anybody know if I need to configure anything or are there any alternatives to xchm on AMD64.

I noticed in my search there was a link to a gnochm deb-package, but that was for i386 architecture.

The request has been made, tomorrow tries to compile it ;)

I found the same problem with xCHM, but i don't find this package in your repository. May be i search in wrong place? :???:

Had a similar problem:

http://xchm.sourceforge.net/faq.html

Q: xCHM displays the HTML source code of the pages instead of properly rendering it. Can I fix this?

A: That depends. The problem might be that an application such as Crossover Office has already registered the .chm extension in your ~/.mime.types file. Most likely that can be solved by commenting out the relevant lines.

I prefer a new app for Dapper : gnochm

sudo apt-get gnochm
