Could switching to the g_bleh functions for file opening have changed the encoding used to read the file from this person's windows default to UTF-8? And maybe the person has invalid UTF-8 characters in their buddy list, somehow? -Mark On Sat, 26 Feb 2005 09:21:21 -0500, Luke Schierer wrote > As I am not sure what would cause this, I am forwarding it to > gaim-devel > > luke > > ----- Forwarded message from Hassan Shaikh <hassan@SyberDesk.com> ----- > > Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2005 13:57:40 +0400 > From: Hassan Shaikh <hassan@SyberDesk.com> > To: lsc...@us... > CC: lsc...@ja... > Subject: Gaim 1.1.4 on Windows ME > > Hi, > > Getting the following error when I start GAIM 1.1.4 on Windows ME. > (using the latest GTK+ 2.6.x) > > /"An error was encountered parsing your buddy list.

This is the same GTK bug that renders gaim 1.1.3 unusable on Win98/ME (it has been fixed in Glib CVS and will be in the next Glib release). I hoped to get a patched glib released with 1.1.4, but there were some complications. The reason it crashed in 1.1.3 was a gaim bug that Stu fixed.
