Re: Skipstone has stopped working
I'm now running Mozilla 0.9.5 (because of my apt-get after apt-get remove -purge), but the problem started with the older version of Mozilla. So, I'm not sure that the cause of this is Mozilla 0.9.5. I'm first trying to trace what it could be, when I have the idea that it has something to do with Mozilla I file a report. Anyway thanks, Hans On Tue, Oct 16, 2001 at 10:27:45PM +0200, J.H.M.

A new mozilla (0.9.5) has recently become part of unstable. Quite likely Skipstone, like Galeon, needs to be rebuilt against that version of mozilla, and could do with tighter dependencies on mozilla. Please file a bug report.

Re: Skipstone, Galeon, in potato?
hi, i maintain some unofficial galeon packages; however, as of late, there have been quite a few problems which i'm now recovering from with the archive they are mirrored on and the macine they're built on and so forth. drop me an email if you'd like me to let you know when the sid packages are available again and where to get them. I'm also doing nightly CVS snapshot debs, which are also anavailable at the moment. Once I finally get the sid stuff fixed, I'll be trying to backport the packages to potato (with mozilla 0.7 probably). If you want to know about that, again, drop me an email, but it'll be awhile before i can get around to this. cheers, Jared Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was dead in the water. Skipstone or Galeon? IIRC, they both have crash recovery. I had the problem of the infinite restart a few months back, on one of my systems, don't recall what the problem was. May have been a stale dot-directory -- both browsers are pretty picky about having old configs lying around. Was this an upgrade? Try deleting .skipstone or .galeon, as appropriate, and attempting to start again. If that doesn't work, try: $ strace $BROWSER (for appropriate value) and see if you can't work out where things get funky.

We will have to wait and see, but I think I am going to buy a copy when the final version comes out. I am becoming increasingly disappointed with Netscape.

Re: Skipstone, Galeon, in potato?
Hello Karsten, Both Skipstone and Galeon are under heavy development and I would recommend compiling them from sources. First get the sources - galeon is at galeon.sourceforge.net and skipstone is at muhri.net/skipstone. Install mozilla and mozilla-dev from potato and before compiling galeon make sure to configure it using: --with-mozilla-includes=/usr/include/mozillaand --with-mozilla-libs=/usr/lib/mozilla Hope this helps, Cyrus PS Oh BTW, skipstone is in woody. kmself@ix.netcom.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > See subject.

I have Skipstone running fine on my potato system, and I really like it. I installed Mozilla from Debian (M18-3 in stable), and then I installed the pre-compiled binary available at the Skipstone web-site (skipstone-0.6.1-bin) in /usr/local. I've not had any problems so far. I needed this in .bash_profile: export MOZILLA_5_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla so that skipstone knew where to look for the parts of Mozilla that it uses. Jim
