The SimpleIPC unit that lhelp uses for IPC creates a named pipe in tmp
that corresponds to the the HelpLabel option. Try setting the HelpLabel
value to something. I think that it uses a default and lazhelp and
lazhelpclient see if there are similarly named files in /tmp/ and delete
them and try again.

Or as I said set your own name and it will use that instead.
