http://gnochm.sourceforge.net/
http://www.kchmviewer.net/
http://xchm.sf.net
http://code.google.com/p/chm2pdf/
There are many more. How to install: it depends on the distro you use. Try to search "chm" on your package manager, many of these might be available there. If they aren't you can try to look for a package for your distro on their sites. If not, then you will need to compile from source, but that'd be the last option.

Best one I found is chmsee:
http://chmsee.gro.clinux.org/
http://freshmeat.net/projects/chmsee/
Note that with some CHMs you may need to change the case (uppercase vs lowercase) of some letters in the paths or it won't work, this is because Linux is case sensitive while Window$ is not. This happens with all CHM viewers that I've tried.

Maybe kchmviewer can handle that, like wine.
I can't compare the many viewers that there are around. I have only needed such a thing one time in more than 15 years of linux.

If you are using Fedora,RHEL OR Centos then run this command from terminal
If you are using ubuntu or Debian based distro then
For freeBSD use pkg_add
