I have managed to get apollon working on my system. The sticker for me was the Gnutella plugin. I compiled it w/o trouble, but after I had installed it and set up giFT/apollon to use it, giFTd would not start when I opened apollon. I even tried to start giFTd manually in a terminal.....no go. I got errors having to do with the Gnutella plugin. I disabled Gnutella, voila! OpenFT and FastTrack work fine. What's going on with Gnutella? Have you been able to get it to work for you? I'm on a dialup here Charlie. :-( My provider is Aliant. It was in the plans for us to have a DSL system called Vibe, which should have been available this spring/summer. Unfortunately Aliant is experiencing a workers strike that has been dragging on for months now. Hopefully the DSL will be soon to come. I have my security level at the default setting.
