Hi folks, I've searched a long time for a good email client so I tried cscmail. If I run the installer it downloads all the necessary files and installs them but when I try to start cscmail there's only an error message: Use of uninitialized value at /usr/local/bin/cscmail line 55. Can't locate object method "init" via package "Gtk::XmHTML" at /usr/local/bin/cscmail line 55. Can anyone help me, please? Greetings, Simon |

I must make a FAQ... Basically, you must have both the GtkXmHTML libraries, AND the headers installed for CSCMailInstaller.pl to succesfully compile the Gtk::XmHTML perl module. These libraries and headers are in TWO packages (if you use RPM or Debian...) The Libraries are in: gnome-libs and the headers are in gnome-libs-devel (Using the RPM naming scheme.. I know they are split similarly in Deb but I do not know the naming conventions for Debian.) BOTH must be installed for the XmHTML perl module to compile... the files to check for are: $prefix/include/gtk-xmhtml/gtk-xmhtml.h $prefix/lib/libgtkxmhtml.so $prefix/lib/libgtkxmhtml.so.1 $prefix/lib/libgtkxmhtml.so.1.0.1 Once you have these files, re-run CSCMailInstaller.pl and it should successfully compile the Gtk::XmHTML module. (or you can cd ~/cscmailbuild/gnome-perl/GtkXmHTML and do perl Makefile.PL; make; make install as root) -CZ -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Kordik st...@vo...

Hey CZ, > On 14 Jun 2000 08:42:23 EDT, Steven Kordik said: > > I must make a FAQ... > I did... http://www.cscmail.net/cscmail.faq > Please read it, and e-mail me any changes, additions, modifications, > etc... I'll do so. But I'm in the midst of something you may want to add -- or put some warning. As I'd mentioned earlier, I've been using kmail mostly. I'd started the import mail round 6.00am & wondered why it was taking so long (it hadn't finished -- I killed it about 30 minutes ago). It finally occured to me that kmail doesn't delete any message it receives, it simply hides it. Now, looking at a little over half of the messages from kmal, I find over 3500 I get to delete from cscmail. Rule: Never, ever import mail from kmail folders. Once I get the stuff kmail was supposed to have deleted out of cscmail, I'll get it set up. Oh, the colour trouble. I couldn't find the file you'd referred to (not even the path, or rather the end of it) in the other e-mail. I'd copied the cscmailrc from root & edited it, I'd copied it into my user's .cscmail as gtkrc & back to csmailrc, opening cscmail & closing each time but nothing changed. I'd even fooled with the colour settings. I'd finally changed from the Terminal theme to Wireframe. While I kind of preferred all the bright green of Terminal, I can deal with the purple of Wireframe since I can now see the fonts as white on a black background in the Compose Message window (the received mail does though, show up as the colours I'd set in cscmail settings). Thanks CZ. I'll be up & running eventually. Meph |
