No images in Enterprise Architect internal help

Hi.

I just installed Wine (version 1.1.9 from openSUSE repo) and then installed Enterprise Architect (the "Linux" version). The installation went fine, I was asked if I wanted to allow Wine to download and install Gecko to render HTML, I did and I think it was installed ok. But when I bring up the internal help no images are displayed, only text. Instead of the image is displayed a little icon. Does someone know what's missing?

Regards, Micke.

This is a known bug, Wine passes the wrong image path to the chm library resulting in broken images.

OK, thanks for the reply. Is there anything one can do to fix this (besides hacking Wine

?

Hack away. Then provide what you did to fix it back to the project.
That is one of the advantages of Open Source. We all get to
contribute. Some by testing it, some by building it, and some by
providing funds.

James is absolutely right. Though, since I figured out the reason why this wasn't working I might revisit it and see if I can figure out how difficult it is to fix, we'll see.
