Welcome to the world of gecko ;) 1) If you are using firefox 3, I believe libgtkmozembed.so is now called something slightly different. 2 and 3) I've never tried compiling against XULRunner or thunderbird 4) We dropped support for seamonkey a while ago. Having said all that, what version of yelp are you using? We only added support for gecko 1.9 (firefox 3) in 2.23.1. There are a couple of issues we had to resolve to fix it properly. One of them sounds like your segfault on accessing docbook [1]. If you're willing to go all radical, there is a webkit backend to yelp available in SVN [2], which you can try. It now seems feature-complete and ready to go.
