It did not. It simply said (when I pressed F1) that it couldn't find
the lhelp executable.

I am. I'm using v0.9.29 r23241 from 23 December at the moment.  I
added '-dUseCHMHelp' in the 'Tools > Configure build lazarus >
Advanced > options) location. That should do the same thing - I always
build the IDE from inside the IDE.

I just did and it gives the same error message. Pressed F1 will the
cursor was over the Controls unit.  Even worse, when the cursor is
over the Menu unit and I press F1, the whole IDE crashes and closes
without giving any error message. No idea why it's trying to open
something in the /tmp directory in the first place. I have setup the
CHM directory location to /opt/fpc_docs/chm/
