Electronkz, could you please give details about your opinion?
I don't know the CHM insides, so maybe indeed it... is not a good file-format.
But in a way, I like the idea. Because I often compose documents in HTML format (referencing external css/js files), and often I find it a pain, when I want to distribute a document, to explain to people that the files should be kept together, with the directory structure respected. Same goes with pages I save to disk from internet: this creates something_files/ directories, that IMHO I shouldn't have to deal with.

Yves.

This worked first time for me with RH9 and KDE. Thanks to Josh More who posted this on a mail list.

1. Install wxWindows
ftp--biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.4.1/wxGTK-2.4.1-1.i386.rpm
ftp--biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.4.1/wxGTK-devel-2.4.1-1.i386.rpm
ftp--biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.4.1/wxGTK-static-2.4.1-1.i386.rpm
ftp--biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.4.1/wxGTK-gl-2.4.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh *.rpm

2. Install CHM Lib
http--66.93.236.84/~jedwin/projects/chmlib/chmlib-0.31.tgz
tar xvfz chmlib-0.31.tgz
cd chmlib-0.31/
vi Makefile
Change 'gcc-3.2' to 'gcc'
make
make install
cd ..

3. Install xCHM
http--ftp.citkit.ru/pub/sourceforge/x/xc/xchm/xchm-0.8.tar.gz
tar xvfz xchm-0.8.tar.gz
cd xchm-0.8/
./configure
make
make install

4. Adjust /etc/ld.so.conf to look in /usr/local/lib.
Remember to run ldconfig

5. Add .chm to Konqueror as a valid file association
