I have no problem helping people out neither - others have helped me too
when I had some issues with OSG in the past. That isn't the issue.

However, I think it is at least courteous to first actually "do the
homework" first, be it reading the available documentation, searching list
archives, etc.). The main reason is that then you can ask the right
questions - saving time for everyone, because the person trying to help you
doesn't need to guide you through the basics first (and have to do it all
over again in a week or two when someone else asks the same question).

It is a simple matter of respecting the time of others.
Saying, paraphrasing, "I don't have time to read the docs, just help me
out" is not very respectful in that regard.

Welcome :) Keep us posted how the debugging goes.
