One conceptual problem here is the meta-data format. Shell commmand line has the idea of argument separators as spaces and strings. Although utf-8 almost works well at the command line, I would have liked it if unicode had given programmers their own glyph and character set to work in, so we wouldn't have to go so crazy escaping the concepts that we'd wedged into ASCII in the 80s. BUT html/xml have a totally different concept of metadata than that, as does org-mode... json comes close to being a command line format that could be parsed using conventional piping/filters. In the beginning I thought I'd have gnugol output Lisp forms and the interface be more like bbdb. There is a pretty clean json parser for emacs however, and I've been thinking of using that. > ---provided you have the new org-eshell.el I didn't know this existed, cool, I'll fiddle. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

I've been using that - or something like it - for years. I should get in touch with them. My problem was more that 1) I've never got emacs's shells to display even simple applications like elinks properly 2) I remember questions as keywords and find the effort of bookmarking the results too much 3) Going from the Emacs org (or markdown) UI to "webspace" is really disconcerting for me.

No. :/ It would be helpful, however, to come up with marginally better search of any sort in the general case.

I see centralized search devolving to the point to where we do need end user filtering - not just anti-spam techniques but also bayesnian filtering, and reputation servers, and white/blacklists to improve the quality. There's been a lot of discussion of the recent decline in google's results on various forums of late. I've been finding the bing support more useful than I thought. > > > > - Allen S.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Introducing gnugol - an org-mode-output web search client
I know--the "*eshell*" is not necessary too--its illustrative--its just an example--showing that you could (using your new module) create multiple asynchronous/coprocesses (in their own dedicated buffers) uniquely named shells and maybe make calls out to goosh and use surfraw and/or gnugol somehow. And, many thanks to you too Konrad for your new org-eshell.el module--hopefully more people will realize the possibilities of these great tools. Eshell has some unique properties that ought to be explored more.

That really shouldn't be necessary for locally built applications since these already know where the libraries are installed. In fact doing it this way opens a potential security hole since now the dynamic loader trusts libraries in /usr/local/lib/ and may prefer it over system libraries for _all_ applications (you may or may not want this behaviour, but in any case should be aware of it). Better set up the correct runtime search path with an '-rpath=' argument to the linker invocation for the install and you never need to invoke ldconfig. Anything installed in /usr/local shouldn't require full administrator privileges and certainly not alter the system behaviour. That most Linux distributions don't make that distinction between system and local applications anymore doesn't mean it's the correct thing to do...

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Introducing gnugol - an org-mode-output web search client
Hi Achim, I had made the silly mistake of not remembering to run ldconfig. Once this was done the janson libraries were found and gnugol started working for me. Apollogies I didn't get around to posting the fix/thing to remember earlier. Thank you very much though for the information, it has taught me several things I didn't know about tracing things like this.

Try 'ldd -v', if that also doesn't show anything, then most likely the program itself dynamically loads new libraries at runtime (probably after a fork).
