[newbie] Apollon (from plf) on mdk 9.2 won't run.
I have installed apollon from the penguin liberation front (plf) source but can't get it to run. When I run it I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] elizabeth]$ apollon kbuildsycoca running... apollon: relocation error: apollon: undefined symbol: _ZN7Apollon10giFTSocketC1EP7QObjectPKc [EMAIL PROTECTED] elizabeth]$ Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it with no effect. The history of this is that I installed it initially and then (accidentally) ran it as root (forgot to 'exit' back to user account). It started to the configuration screen where I put in a user name and clicked ok. It then failed to start. Now, even after a reinstall, it won't bring up even this initial setup screen (for root or a normal user). I have never had the actual main program load on that machine. I would think it might be a bad package on plf but I've definitely installed apollon successfully on another 9.2 machine. My suspicion is that it is something to do with running it as root initially. The system must be holding some sort of state information or something which isn't removed with the package- I just can't find it. I don't know if it's relevant but this machine, for space reasons, does not have GNOME or most of the development libraries installed. I wouldn't guess this would make any difference as it is a KDE application. It is up-to-date with mandrake updates. Just for completeness the commands I'm using to install/uninstall are (respectively): 'urpmi apollon' and 'urpme apollon-0.9.1-2plf.i586 gift-0.11.4-5plf.i586 gift-fasttrack-0.8.5-1plf.i586 libapollon0-0.9-1plf.i586 libgift0-0.11.4-5plf.i586' I'd very much appreciate any light that anyone could shed on this! I hope it's something obvious that I'm missing! Thanks in advance, Andrew. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Yes I had that problem too. Looks like the latest update broke it. When I checked yesterday one of the plf mirrors still had the older version of Apollon that works OK. I think it is the one in Slovakia Thanks for your prompt response and advice. I've now got the older version installed and it is running smoothly! I couldn't see any mention of this issue on the plf-discuss list so I have reported it. Thanks again, Andrew. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I think it is the one in Slovakia I do not want to step on anyones toes by hijacking some else's plf rpm so till I get their OK I have temporarily uploaded apollon-0.9.1-3plf.i586.rpm libapollon0-0.9.1-3plf.i586.rpm libapollon0-devel-0.9.1-3plf.i586.rpm to my site. Have tested and as least as far as launching and connecting they work without problem. When I upload them to PLF for 9.2 I will remove them from my site, Charles -- Academy: A modern school where football is taught.
