Script appears broken in Ubuntu 10.04

[Jay Lovell]

Script doesn't work in ubuntu 10.04. Appears to want to start
htmldoc GUI. This is run in shell window from Windows PC. If I
run it from shell window in ubuntu, it simply starts up a blank
htmldoc (worthless since there are no html files). exiting the
htmldoc gui simply exists the script. regardless of which way, no
PDF file is created.

root@firebird:/mirror/CHM/temp# chm2pdf --book test.chm
Can't open display:
Something wrong happened when launching htmldoc.
exit value: 256
Check if output exists or if it is good.
Done.

[ms]

Why do you run it as root?

I would change things so that "htmldoc" starts the command-line tool and not the GUI.

If this is not an option, you could open the chm2pdf script in an editor and change the 'htmldoc' to 'XXXX' in:

exit_value=os.system ('htmldoc' + htmldoc_opts + ' ' + htmlout_filename_list + " -f "+ outputfilename + " > /dev/null")

where 'XXXX' means the "command-line invocation of htmldoc in your system".
