[GRASS-user] Ques. Re Grass help

Hello All,
Running grass-6.4.3-5.fc20.x86_64 (Fedora 20)
If I go to "help" (GRASS GIS Layer Manager window) and choose "GRASS Help" or "GUI help', both fail, as follows...

(Mon Mar 31 15:26:07 2014)
g.manual entry=wxGUI
ERROR: No HTML manual page entry for <wxGUI>.
(Mon Mar 31 15:26:07 2014) Command finished (0 sec)
(Mon Mar 31 15:26:25 2014)
g.manual -i
ERROR: No HTML manual page entry for <index>.
(Mon Mar 31 15:26:25 2014) Command finished (0 sec)

If I run "g.manual" from the console, I do get "g.manual" gui window, but if I then choose "Optional - Display index" I get the same errors.

What am I doing wrong here?

Cheers,

I don't know Fedora (Debian here), documentation can be located in
separated packages, something like `grass-doc`?

That is how Fedora usually package, but there is no sign of a 'grass-doc' package in the repo.
A snoop into the files packaged in the grass-6.4.3-5.fc20.x86_64 rpm reveals that all the doc files are included, and installed at /usr/share/doc/grass/docs/html/, and they are indeed there.
So the question now is why is GRASS not finding those those doc files?

Martin, where are the docs installed in Debian?
