| Heather 13/11/2004 6:39pm | I'm running i.Scribe v1.87 (Test26, Linux Release) under Vector Linux with XFCE. It seems to work with two exceptions:
(1) I cannot read the ('OK', 'Cancel') text in any of the standard buttons. I assume I am missing a library or something. No big deal. (2) Whenever I try to send or receive, I get a message like: src/common/INet/INet.cpp:500 - gethostbyname_r('pop3.myisp.com') failed and, of course, neither send nor receive works. I should note that when I issue the command 'ping pop3.myisp.com' it works fine. Any thoughts? Thanks. |
| fReT 14/11/2004 11:24pm | 1) delete or rename 'liblgiskin-x.so' and the button's text should return. It's an issue with XFT's rendering of bold fonts. Which I havn't been able to fix yet..
2) No idea. This function seems to randomly fail for some machines and only for some applications. I believe I'm calling it correctly. If you know code the source can be found in the Lgi v2.0 download on my site. |
| shashi 24/05/2006 8:23pm | I am also experienced the same problem .
src/common/INet/INet.cpp:529 - gethostbyname_r('<server name>') failed (-1 - Unknown(-1)) But i am able to ping the server . What could be the reason for this ? |
