[Opensync-users] configure: editor not found

[Fredrik <Fre...@mi...>]

Hello,

I have a problem with opensync 0.18 under Mandriva 2006. When running
msynctool --configure I get the message

    sh: editor: command not found
    sh: editcmd: command not found
    Unable to open editor. Aborting

Does anybody know how to fix this? 

(Installed by compiling source packages for Mandriva Cooker, I did not
notice anything peculiar when building.)

I think setting the enviroment variable to an existing editor program on 
your computer should help.
In a bash shell this could be

export EDITOR=emacs
or
export EDITOR=kate

Hi,

There was a typo in the code of msynctool which is already fixed in the
latest svn revision.
When the editor variable isn't set it should call vi but instead of vi
it called "editcmd".
You can fix it by removing the quotes in line 512 in tools/msynctool.c :

- =C2=A0=C2=A0 if (system("editcmd")) {=C2=A0=C2=A0
+=C2=A0=C2=A0 if (system(editcmd)) {

or checkout the latest svn revision of multisync-cli.

Or set the enviroment variable editor, like Markus said.

best regards,
Daniel
