    <para>The <filename>gimp-help</filename> tarball contains a help system

    The tarball only contains the XML sources, so you will need

    to build the HTML files.</para>

    <para>If you downloaded the <filename>gimp-help</filename> tarball, change

    the root of your build directory. Now unpack the

    root of the newly created source tree (as an unprivileged user).
    Issue the following commands to install the help files:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>In order to use the <option>--enable-convert</option> parameter to
