    Hi.
    When I try to access the help system in Qt creator, all I get is an error message about an URL that starts with qthelp://.
    Am I doing something wrong? Is something configured wrong? Do I need to install some kind of driver?

    Ubuntu 14.04 running on a MacBook pro.

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      What version of Qt Creator ? The one from Ubuntu's package management ?

        when i go to the info window in qt creator, it gives me this info:

        Qt creator 3.0.1
        based on qt 5.2.1 (gcc 4.8.2, 64 bit)
        built on 9-apr-2014

        and i think i installed it using ubuntu's software center.

          Hi, installing Qt through Ubuntu's software center usually gives you less stuff than when downloading/installing from qt.io. Try these commands first:

          sudo apt-get install qtbase5-examples qtbase5-doc-html

          There are lots of others with the same problem :-)

            i tried that, but it didn't solve the problem. i still get this error message:

            The page could not be found!
            Error loading: qthelp://org.qt-project.qtcreator.301/doc/index.html

            is there some setting i have to change to make sure qt creator can find the new stuff?

              today i tried to download an online installer from qt.io. the problem here is that it gives me a .run file. so what do i do with that? double-clicking it brings up a dialog asking which app to feed it to. using the terminal gives eually unproductive and annoying results. so how do i install qt creator in a way that lets me use all its features, including the built-in help?

                chmod +x name_of_the_installer.run
                ./name_of_the_installer.run

                And you should be good to go
