From what I can tell, FC4 ships with the 2.4.2 wxWidgets library, while XCHM requires 2.6.x. Ordinarily, this would not be a problem, but XCHM 0.98 (the last one that works w/ wx 2.4) cannot operate on my machine, segfaulting somewhere down in a wx call.

So, I have to wonder: How can I either A) convert my CHM files to PDFs for more platform-independent viewing - this is the preferred choice, as I doubt I'll ever be running a Windows machine again, or B) get a working copy of xchm on my machine without radically b0rking the rpm-managed software I've already got?


I don't have any CHM files to test with, but OpenOffice might be able to do it.

I'm sure it can do PDF out, but it doesn't appear to be able to read CHM files. It was worth a try, though.
