Hi All

I have recently tried to view some info pages with yelp and I discoved that info is no longer supported in gnome 2.8. Since I can't stand the info command, are there any other info browsers for gnome?

Thanks
Kevin

yelp-2.6.4 works fine here under gnome 2.8

Code:
hollywoodb@cloak hollywoodb $ yelp
Use of deprecated SAXv1 function endElement

^^^ that I can live with, seems to function fine.

HI

Thanks for the reply. "yelp" works for me, it just doesn't support info pages or man pages. For example, under gnome 2.6 you could type:

Code:

yelp info:gcc

or
Code:

yelp man:ssh


You can no longer do this. Here is a blurb that I found using google:

I was hoping that there was a separate gnome app for processing info pages, since this functionality was removed from yelp in gnome 2.8.

Thanks
Kevin
