This is very odd... Does the installation script give any errors when you run
it?

It should download MIME-Types-0.02.tar.gz from CPAN and this should
install clean... if not, there should be some errors...  Try downloading
the tarball from CPAN yourself (http://www.cpan.org) and installing
it by hand... does it give any errors?

This is exactly what I get from it on the command line:

fetching Gtk::XmHTML
found DBI
found MIME:Base64
found IO::wrap
found MIME:Parser
found Mail::Header
found URI::URL
found IO::Socket

.... and nothing else, the dialog box exits zithout doing anything else...

right, we're getting closer...
compiling the module yields:

"Looks good

error:  unable to locate installed Perl lirbaries or Perl source code"

(looking for /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/CORE/perl.h)


I've got the following mdk RPMS installed:

perl-base 5.600
perl 5.600
perl-MIME-base64 2.11
perl-IO-stringy 1.213
perl-digest-MD5 2.11
perl-HTML-parser 3.11
perl-mailtools 1.14
perl-libnet 1.0703
perl-Net_SSLeay 1.05
perl-Msgcat-1.03
perl-DB_file 1.73
perl-URI 1.09
perl-PDL 2.101
perl-MIME-tools 5.311
perl-HTML-SimpleParse 0.10
perl-DBI 1.14
perl-libwww-perl 5.48
perl-Data-ShowTable 3.3
eperl 2.2.14
perl-Term-Readline-Gnu 1.09

is perl.h supposed to be in any of these RPMS?

Nope... perl.h is in perl-devel-5.600-18mdk.i586.rpm  (according to
rpmfind.net)

okay, got that it compiles fine (did before, sort of) but crashes with 
undefined symbol in libgtkhtml.so.4: new_pspell_config... shouldn't happen... 
I'll try installing pspell-devel*rpm...

5 minutes later...
still not running, I'll try and compile again....

one loooong compile later...

nope, same error shows up:
it loads, I can briefly see a window, and then:

HTML widget is GtkHTML
perl: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/gtkhtml.so.4 undefined 
symbol: new_pspell_config

?????
am lost now
starting to hate Mandrake just like other distros

I haven't done any testing with GtkHTML since version 0.4 .. and never on
Mandrake... You might want to try CscHTML, since it doesn't have all the gnome
dependancies, it tends to compile a bit easier/cleaner

(Why does an HTML widget need a spellchecking library linked in again????)

It worked, HTML widget is:text however.
did i miss anything? must say I haven't foudn anything about cscHTML
just uninstalled GtkHTML

but it works!

errr....
wouldn't know really... spell checking HTML instructions (haha)??
just crazy people

thanks a lot everyone
now I can wipe off kmail
but minibrowser fails "can't locate object method init via package CSC::HTML 
at /usr/bin/cscbrowser line 34, can't ignore CHLD signal, forcing to default" 
... and nothing else happens.
now i take it CSC::HTML is internal HTML support is it? or am I missing (yet) 
another package?

Yeah, 1.7.x doesn't require an HTML widget... but it is much nicer with one!
hehe

CscHTML is at http://www.cscmail.net/cschtml
