Summary: Missing installation of handbook

Initial Comment:
Installing BT 1.6beta1 did not install the handbook in
such a way that it can be opened by Menu / help / Handbook

-> Let BT 1.6 install the handbook too

Wolfgang, sorry, it would have been

su "apt-get remove --purge bibletime"

But if you have already removed it with synaptic, that`s ok.

Thank's for this info.

Konsole:su apt-get remove --purge bibletime
gives:
su: unrecognized option `--purge'
Usage: su [OPTS] [-] [username [ARGS]]
        -       make this a login shell
        -c, --command=<command>
                pass command to the invoked shell using its -c
                option
       -m, -p, --preserve-environment
                do not reset environment variables, and keep the
                same shell
       -s, --shell=<shell>
                use shell instead of the default in /etc/passwd

But did not Synaptic (what I had applied) remove the program
too?

Wolfgang, please don't mix up BibleTime and Bibledit.

Please run the following:
su apt-get remove --purge bibletime 

This will remove the old BibleTime install (the files in
/home/wolfgang are only the source code, the program usually
installs below /usr).
Then, copy bibletime-1.6beta1.tar.bz2 to /tmp. Go there, and
run:

tar jxf bibletime-1.6beta1.tar.bz2
cd bibletime-1.6beta1
# The next stuff all on one line:
./configure kde_htmldir=/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML --prefix=/usr
#until here.,
make
sudo checkinstall

This will build another BibleTime .deb package, and install
it into /usr/. The difference to make install is that
checkinstall creates a deb file, which you can also remove
later, but make install just installs the files. To delete
them, you'd have to run "make uninstall" which is only
available in the sourcecode package.

HTH.

Ok, let's try to find out, what I have to do:
At the moment I have /bibletime-1.6beta1 installed in
/home/wolfgang by the following way:
tar jxf bibletime-1.6beta1.tar.bz2
cd bibletime-1.6beta
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo checkinstall  (this was the instruction,  Joachim gave
me instead of 'make install' as written in the BT download
instructions.)

'Reinstall', I am not sure, what this means in Linux, so
here is, what I tried:
Shell-Konsole: wolfgang at wolfgang:~$
cd bibledit-1.6.02 (this leads to) ->
wolfgang at wolfgang:~/bibledit-1.6.02$
--- checking /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML exists, so I did:
make kde_htmldir=/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML install
--- This gives the messages:
Making install in man
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/wolfgang/bibledit-1.6.02/man'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/wolfgang/bibledit-1.6.02/man'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
test -z "/usr/man/man8" || mkdir -p -- "/usr/man/man8"
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 './bibledit.8'
'/usr/man/man8/bibledit.8'
/usr/bin/install: cannot remove `/usr/man/man8/bibledit.8':
Permission denied
make[2]: *** [install-man8] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/wolfgang/bibledit-1.6.02/man'
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/wolfgang/bibledit-1.6.02/man'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1)

So, this does not seem to be the right was to reinstall
bibletime:
Checking if reinstall means to get rid of the program by
Synaptic:
Synaptic/Find 'bibletime' found:
- Package: bibletime, Installed Version: 1.6beta-1, Latest
Version:1.6beta-1, Description: bibletime 1.6beta-1
- Package: bibletime-1.6beta1 (not installed)
- Package: bibletime-i18n , intsalled Version 1.5.3-1,
Latest Version: 1.5.3-1, Description: Package created with
checkinstall 1.5.3
So I mark for complete removal: Package: bibletime,
Installed Version: 1.6beta-1, Latest Version:1.6beta-1,
Description: bibletime 1.6beta-1
Apply, Message: Changes Applied.
Question: Can I complete remove also: Package:
bibletime-i18n , isntalled Version 1.5.3-1, Latest Version:
1.5.3-1, Description: Package created with checkinstall 1.5.3?

 Now checking with Konqueror: /home/wolfgang:
/bibletime-1.6beta1/ is still here with all the programs in.
So is BibleTime really completely removed ???

So my question: How can I reinstall bibletime? Does this
mean to simply delete the folder
/home/wolfgang/bibletime-1.6beta1/ ?

Wolfgang, could you please re-install BibleTime?
This time, do not use

make install

but instead:

make kde_htmldir=/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML install

This was the problem on my debian system, because the docs
are in a nonstandard location and therefore KDE could not
find them. If your HTML/ folder with the KDE docs is
somewhere else, use that location instead. Please report
here what you had to do to get it to work. I'll have to
update the INSTALL file to include these instructions then,
and when I have done this, I'll close this report.

Hm. BibleTime installs the howto (same problem) into:

/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/

but all the other docs from KDE are in:

/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/

on my system (debian unstable). Is there an autoconf variable that we can use (better)?
