Ok I just had a look and this is the results:
When opening a Help-File from the src-dir, which now in ./lib/doc/ does
not anymore contain the LyX-Help-Files it happens that it cannot find it.
Strangely when starting from the source-directory it ONLY searches the
Help-files in the same source-directory and does not get back to the
system-lyxdir(/usr/local/share/lyc), as in this case system-lyxdir IS
the source directory.
I now updated the source so that if
string fname = i18nLibFileSearch("doc", docname, "lyx");
returns an empty string in 'void Menus::MenuDocu(string const & docname)'
I now write an error messages that the right documentation-file could
not be found. IMO we should here ALWAYS get back in last instance to the
/usr/local/share/lyx/doc directory.
