[bme-develop] BeMSN problems?

[Sir M. <obe...@ho...>]

Hi guys,

just spotted this in the bebits talkback:

"Sorry if this is a realy simple question / fix. This is my first hour using 
BeOS. Im realy enjoying it a lot. Just trying to get an msn client working. 
The one that came with this BeOS install seems to crash on signin. Thread 
name w>Sign In.

I thought that it may be because of MSN protocol updates (I use kopete on 
SuSE Linux so I've experienced this already)

I downloaded the latest version of BeMSN which is suppose to have support 
for protocol8. I copied the libcl.so.3.10 to the link given in the zip file.

When I launch BeMSN I get error Missing Library libsocket.so

Is there a specific location to execute BeMSN from? Some sort of link I have 
to create? I saw nothing in the Readme.txt file on this. I did an updatedb 
and locate libsocket.so and it did not return any results from a terminal.

Any help would be great."

any idea what's wrong? would that be a BeMSN error, or is something wrong 
with his install....Daniel am I right if I say that we haven't got any 
specific BONE code, but we just compiled it for BONE? maybe it's a BONE 
error?

regards,

Tim

Somebody has replied to that on BeBits - looks like libsocket.so is 
only in BONE, whereas the user has only just installed BeOS, so is 
probably using net_server.

The other possiblilty is he has not update to 5.0.3 - mozilla requires 
that in order to work (specifically the update to 5.0.1 must be applied 
first as that changes some of the network libs, then the update to 
5.0.3). I'll post that as a response.

I thin that might be the reason.

That's right. The only thing thats specific to BONE or net_server is 
the cryptlib, everything else is the same for both.
We only have one Bme, using two versions of cryptlib.
