latest build 5.5 build 1162 problems & questions

[Arnold W. <awi...@te...>]

Hello, Salvador,

just got the latest snap shot from sourceforge and 'make'd it under linux.

One of the things I remember from an earlier version - somehow I don't 
think my message got through last time because of problems at my end and 
I forgot to verify it had gone out.

After building the latest build,  it hangs with a blank window (except 
for title bar with version info) when I run it unless there is an 
existing, even if old tcedit.dst file in the current directory. I have 
to kill it from another window to recover.

Sometimes it tells me afterwards to contact you at se...@ie...

Seems I tried that the last time and it bounced eventually, but I forgot 
to follow up. Now it is back ;-)


If I copy some old tcedit.dst file to the current directory, set starts 
up ok, although it complains about a missing help file.


========================================
Questions:

Various messages and the make script have mentioned program/utilities 
that I don't seem to be able to find on my Debian/MEPIS system:

symify

makeinfo

migdb

===========================================

If I can supply further information, please let me know.

Arnold

PS: still have not had a chance to work some more on my Windows version 
- the UNC stuff still does not work as it should
