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.
Cheers
Don
