*** GIFT-FATAL: couldn't load protocol in file /usr/lib/giFT/libOpenFt.la: file not found
*** Often times more information can be found in the log file or with the -v command line switch.

i do have OpenFT installed. via RPM. anyone know what i can do ?? ;\


/Jason

As root, run
updatedb -c

Then,
locate libOpenFt\.la


That will show you if, and if so, where it's
installed.

Allternatively, you could query the rpm database...

rpm -qa | grep OpenFt

ok, i updated and it did something cause it took a min or so.

now when i run the above commands. i get nothing in return

root@localhost jason2]# updatedb -c
[root@localhost jason2]# locate libOpenFt.la
[root@localhost jason2]# locate libOpenFt.la
[root@localhost jason2]# rpm -qa | grep OpenFt

thats all i get . what should i do now?


/Jason

Pretty fair indication that it's not installed.

You sure that it worked alright? :)

*** GIFT-FATAL: couldn't load protocol in file /usr/lib/giFT/libnone.la: file not found

different error now and icannot seem to find anything about this particular file either


hmmm

anyone know how to fix this, i ran into this exact same problem at my friends house also. So maybe is it a common error :\

/Jason

anyone????

Maybe the RPM just doesn't have
all it takes? Install from source.


Cheers,
Tink

ya i tried installing the all in one pac that is available on sourceforge now. still the same thing, and what's weird i can't find anything about libnone.la

mentalness, would be nice to get it working tho :\


/Jason

ok, playing around with it some more, and i get this now

Get rid of your RPMs and install from source :}


Cheers,

hey tink,

done that, recompolied, same thing tho, i don't think i am putting the protocol in right or something.

i am putting this

plugins = OpenFT:FastTrack

seems fine to me



strange

/Jason

hi -
I have the same problem - did you solve it?
Greetings,
Ron
PS - I am going to try change the name of OpenFT to openFT in the .conf file (small o :-) )
maybe 't will work...

To solve that gift problem you must make sure that gift can access the different OpenFT.la Gnutella.la ect. simply copy them to the right directory and make usermod g+rx o+rw.
Then restart giftd and you will see that it now starts the giftd
