Problem with Sylpheed.

I installed sylpheed for qnx a couple of days ago but i cant manage to make it to work.
These are the errors that it encounters when it tries to start.
Are there any missing librarys or whats wrong?

Hmmm… ive installed it on 2 different box’s with no problems. Judging from the errors you got, it looks like you are missing libjpeg, libpng and libtiff which can be found on the 3rd party cd.

It was my first thought too…
Well,libpng and libtiff are installed and reinstalled a couple of times. by now.
And they reside in /usr/lib/
libjpeg.so libjpeg.so.1 libjpeg.so.2
As well as a dozen versions of libpng
Except for libpng.a which (as usually) was broken.
and finally, libtiff.a libtiff.so and libtiff.so.3
They also resides in the path:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/proc/boot:/lib:/usr/lib:/lib/dll:

Any other ideas on whats wrong?

The only other thing i can think of is… i built sylpheed after upgrading to the new/updated packages from qnx.wox.org/cdrom621/ … so its using the new glib/gtk/iconv/libpng etc.
Otherwise i dont know what to say at this point,sorry. Anybody having the same problem? The more feedback i get will help me fix the problem ( if it actually is the package at fault )

Thats seeems like a reasonable explanation, i will download the new ones and try it…
Besides that, Thanks for all the porrtings you have made :slight_smile:
I have tried to compile a lot of stuff but it usually failes for me and unfourtanely i am not skilled enough to make it work, yet…

By the way, it seems like gFTP has a packetflaw, it will exit with the following error.

gftp

GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to: No such user 0.
gFTP Error: Cannot find master config file /usr/local/share/gftp/gftprc
Did you do a make install?

Just following up… after grabbing the new packages did everything work ok? If not i rebuilt sylpheed once more and uploaded a new build.
By the way thanks for the info on gftp… it was either me or packager that goofed up ( i’ll just blame packager :smiley: ) …a new build is now uploaded and should work fine now.

Regarding sylpheed, i have a 33k6 modem so i decided to wait for the 6.2.1.CD , because it was a little too much to download.
But gFTP didnt place the config file in the right place this time either, so i moved it from /usr/share/gftp to /usr/local/share/gftp and then it worked just fine :slight_smile:
But i blame my installation, it is a bit strange…
