 I'm trying, but I don't really know how all this stuff works yet.  Even
 the quartz patch that I made for the old yelp seemed a bit temperamental
 based on what I installed first, without just throwing xorg-libX11 at it
 (a quick-fix, but defeats the purpose of +quartz, and a bit sketchy).
 Basically, I just thought that since you have a working version, never
 mind my version.

 Awesome, I didn't know I could do that; much better than copy-pasting.
 I've just been going off of what Archlinux, FreeBSD or Linux From Scratch
 document, which doesn't always work.  And yes, I've come to see that these
 interdependencies are rather subtle and sneaky; probably why I can't get
 gnome-chemistry-utils to work properly either.
