Hello,

This is my first time trying to install and run nghost on my Debian Lenny system. I have tried both the DEB packages and building the software myself and keep having the following problem:

I start nscan with "nscan -f -l4 -Fstdout" so I can see all of the debug info on my screen.
I then start nghost with "nghost -d5 -lstdout".

nghost seems to start up fine but then when it gets to the point where it wants to load the music list. It contacts nscan but nscan then segfaults with the following output (note the server address: 0.0.0.0):

03/15/2009 16:52:19 EDT:NOTICE - nghost.conf not found in ~/.nghost. Now looking in /usr/local/etc/nghost/.

The screen comes up fine and I can navigate around I just don't see any media files to play.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

which version of nghost did you install/build from? If you think it may be a bug, download the latest version from subversion and see if the problem persists.

Also, if you can, run it through gdb and get a stack trace. That will be helpful in determining where exactly it crashed at.

After some more investigating I found that this is not a bug in the software itself. It actually has to do with packages and dependencies. I installed a fresh version of Debian Lenny and this software crashes because of libxml++ not being the right version (I am pretty sure.)

I first compiled from source code, and while configure pointed out a few packages I needed to install first, it said nothing about the libxml++ version (or needing the boost libs either.) It compiled fine but crashed.

I next tried installing the deb files and it complained that I needed libxml++2.6c2a and all I had was libxml++2.6.2. I even found a package with that exact version (not in the official Debian repositories) but nscan still crashed.

I then installed the deb packages on my Ubuntu laptop and BAM, it worked fine! I ended up wiping Debian and installing Ubuntu on my car computer Everything works great now, at least what I have configured.

Where do I submit suggestions for improvement of the build configure script?
