    chmlib is just a library and its no use to you unless you install a gui that uses that library. You can install kchmviewer, gnochm or xchm if you want to view chm files in Linux.

    Well I downloaded xchm.deb file and when I install it by dpkg -i, it says libc6 version found is 2.3.2 but required is 2.3.6. I don't know how to upgrade it. I am using Debian 3.1r0a. It also says some packages are not installed.

    When I run....
    Code:
    dpkg -i xchm_1.9-3_i386.deb
    It gives me following error....

    xchm depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6); however:
    Version of libc6 on system is 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4.
    xchm depends on libchm1 (>= 0.36-3); however:
    Package libchm1 is not installed.
    xchm depends on libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.0); however:
    Version of libgcc1 on system is 1:3.4.3-13.
    xchm depends on libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.0); however:
    Package libstdc++6 is not installed.
    xchm depends on libwxbase2.6-0 (>= 2.6.3.2.1.5); however:
    Package libwxbase2.6-0 is not installed.
    xchm depends on libwxgtk2.6-0 (>= 2.6.3.2.1.5); however:
    Package libwxgtk2.6-0 is not installed.
    Please help what should I do?

    Try
    Code:
    #apt-get install xchm
    or
    Code:
    #apt-get install gnochm
    Make sure you have the universe repos uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.list.
