10. Questions and Answers

have you got the required libraries - run knapster from an xterm and see what the output is. If it is a library problem it will have a message about ld not finding a library. To fix it, get the library required. In some cases, the library problem may be because of a different version of a library used. This might be fixed by compiling the source on you machine. Give it a go.

core dump??? You've probally found a bug. Maybe about now would be a good time to email me with the symptoms, including machine type, whether a binary package or source package was used and what and when it happens.

cant compile the source??. The package uses configure to create the makefiles and will fail if it can't find the required libraries and include files. You must have them to comile the program. Another proplem that happens every so often is that the configure fails when testing for Qt ar for KDE even though you know they are installed. This is a real pain in the XXXX!!. You may be able to get it to work by specifying the paths to the libraries when invoking configure. If that doesn't work, you may have to make your own makefile. Maybe i'll include a basic one in later versions.

can't connect to anything, or it does connect but then does nothing else. Are you using a power PC?. If you are, it seems to be a problem I've had reported. I'm slowing trying to fix it but since I haven't got a PPC, its up to you to let me know whats going on. Anyone willing to test the problems for possible fixes - give me a call.

On a download, the download tab reports the file as queued and then initializing and then does nothing else. - This happens usually when you are behind some kind of firewall. Try setting the connection port in preferences to port 0, and it may work correcly. There is no socks5 support implemented and so the socks option available in the orginal windoze client is as yet unavailable.
