[plug] accessing html docs

[sol]

I just tried chmod -R a+x kspread to no effect.

localhost:/usr/doc/kde/HTML/en# lsattr index.html
lsattr: No such file or directory while trying to stat index.html 

The above was the output for lsattr. So I "chattr -RV = kspread", which 
removed any attributes that any file may have had. No success. Whilst I can 
read any file as root I can't read any file in any manner as a user. Yet the 
permissions are wide open.

localhost:/usr/doc# ls -alp kspread
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 Apr 14 18:20 kspread -> 
../share/doc/kspread/

This is freakin' weird. Any ideas? Any suggestions on where to look 
appreciated.
