 Priority:  Normal              |  Milestone:
Component:  ports               |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:                      |       Port:  dia
--------------------------------+--------------------------------
 With Dia 0.97.2 from MacPorts //and// the packaged .dmg from [http://dia-
 installer.de dia-installer.de] (derived from MacPorts, according to [http
 ://dia-installer.de/download/macosx.html this]), choosing 'Help' -> 'Help'
 results in the following error:

 {{{
 Could not open help directory:
 Error opening directory '/opt/local/share/dia/help': No such file or
 directory
 }}}

 (The dia-installer.de version actually substitutes
 `d123456789012345678901234567890...(repeated a bunch of times)` for the
 'local' part, not that it matters.)

 I believe, just based on a cursory inspection, that `./configure --with-
 hardbooks` may install the appropriate documentation in the place expected
 by the GUI help menu. I would liked to have attached a patched Portfile,
 but at this exact juncture, I'm wrestling with freetype to get Dia to
 build on my OS X 10.7.5 system, so I can't confirm that the `--with-
 hardbooks` option alone is sufficient to fix the problem.
