please help me get mldonkey going on mandrake
hello
i am trying to get mldonkey to run on mandrake. i installed the rpm using urpmi mldonkey, and installing what it gave me. i think it installed, but there might be problems with installation? or perhaps (hopefully) i am just doing something wrong. i go to command line and type mldonkey and it gives me a whole bunch of output, but no screen comes up, it just hangs at the line Disabling output to console, to enable: stdout true i don't know what i am doing wrong or what else i need to do please help i will do just about anything to get it working at this point!! |
p.s. i don't know if this helps, but the first error it gives is
Error loading ./comments.met: Sys_error("./comments.met: No such file or directory") |
IIRC you have to start mldonkey in a console and then mldonkey_gui. It should be in the menu under Networking -> Other, but you can run it from (another) console as well.
In a GUI go to File -> Settings and then under Client -> Startup check "Start mldonkey_gui at beginning". Under "Name of MLdonkey GUI to start" type /usr/lib/mldonkey/mlgui and under "Path of mldonkey binaries" type /usr/lib/mldonkey That should ensure that the GUI starts automatically. The mldonkey program per se is just the core that needs to be running in the background. When you close the GUI make sure the core has been shut down as well. |

Just start it and go to http://127.0.0.1:4080 with a browser. You can also go and install the original binary for mldonkey.It's just a matter of unpacking the tarball.For info and binaries got to http://www.mldonkey.org |
