#2 Header has invalid size

[Andrew E. Schulman]

Whenever I try to run kchm, it crashes with the error
"Header has invalid size (-1)". Here's an example:

$ kchm /home/ebooks/Developing\ User\ Interfaces\ for\
Microsoft\ Windows.CHM
kio_kiochm: *** Starting kio_kiochm
kio_kiochm: kio_kiochmProtocol::kio_kiochmProtocol()
kio_kiochm: ERROR: Header read failed, errno=104
kio_kiochm: ERROR: Header has invalid size (-1)
KCrash: Application 'kchm' crashing...

You might wonder what version of kiochm I'm using, and
I wonder too. I have an archive that I unpacked and
built, called kiochm-src.tgz. But it has no version
information anywhere in it that I can find. Not only
that, but I can't find kiochm anywhere on the net now.
I'd appreciate any light you could shine on that,
since it seems that kchm needs kiochm.

Thanks,
Andrew.

Hello.

Sorry for not have answered you but I expect the bugs to be
submitted via email and I didn't look at the bugs option
until now.

kiochm is compiled with kchm and it's the component that the
main program uses for its I/O operations (it's the KDE
programming paradigm). The KIO component must be installed
in some KDE directory (I think the installation does it).

It is a while since I touched the program, but it seems
something is not recognized by Chmlib, which is the library
I use to retrieve data from the .chm file. Have you tried
with another .chm file?
