Hi,
Today I installed LibreCAD under Linux Mint Debian Edition (latest release).
I have the same problem reported by others i.e. the Help panes remainig empty when I choose Help|Manual.
I was wondering, are the LibreCAD help files available somewhere for download?
Alternatively: Is it possible to get by using QCad documentation?

Otherwise the software appears very good. Thank you.

You can always use teh QCAD documentation as found here : http://www.qcad.org/qcad/manual_reference/

Please remember that QCAD evolved to version 3 and not everything that is available in QCAD is
in LibreCAD.

The reason why the doc doesn't appear in Debian is properly because you are using a rc1 or lower
release.

Thanks for the information Ries,

As I said I'm running the latest release of Linux Mint Debian Edition (which is a rolling release based on Debian testing - whatever that means).
Perhaps as a raw  beginner at Linux (I only installed LMDE a few days ago) I'd do better to install something a bit more stable.
I don't want to base my choice of distro on one piece of software but I would like to do CAD so, as a matter of interest, under which Linux will the LibreCAD Help|Manual function work?

Hi - first make sure you installed librecad-doc package, it should be
automatically installed but is listed as a "recommends" which on some
systems isn't installed.

If it is installed, you can grab the librecad package from Debian unstable.

Download librecad (for your architecture), librecad-data, and librecad-doc from:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libr/librecad/

to an empty directory, then run the command:

$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

in that directory.


There is also a preview version for Ubuntu (which may also work for
LMDE.) Instructions are available:
http://librecad.org/cms/home/installation/linux.html


LMDE is as good of a distribution as any for librecad, and if you have
the package from debian testing then it has been shown to already
work. Can you run:

$ dpkg -s librecad | grep Version

and let me know what the output is?

- This will not work, since the package you refer to is
   LibreCAD 1.0.0 RC1, and RC1 have not a functionnal
   manual.

I believe Lisandro and I patched the code to get the help working:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/libr/librecad/librecad_1.0.0~rc1+nolibs-4/changelog

but I could be wrong (too many betas and RCs dancing in my head!)

- Sorry Scott, I was not aware that this LibreCAD V1.0.0 RC1 was
   patched to fix the help->manual bug.

- So, forget my previous post.

tcc@tcc:~$

On Ubuntu 12.10, LibreCAD Version: 1.0.2 SCM Revision: 1.0.2 Compiled on: May 17 2012, also has no manual.

Repositories showed three packages, when searched for LinreCAD, two were installed, third was qcad, which I installed.

sudo apt-get install qcad
Get:1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/universe qcad all 2.0.5.0-1+090318.1-2 [3,550 B]

But manual is still not there.
