Public bug reported: Binary package hint: adesklets
Hello, 1. i compiled adesklets-0.6.1 from source on a Fedora 8 x86_64. 2. normal configuration/installation was just like './configure && make && make install'. 3. everything went smoothly except just installed some dependencies and then it was all fine. 4. when i try to execute /usr/local/bin/adesklets it just exits silently (i could paste an strace of it if this would help). 5. also when i try to run adesklets_installer it executes smoothly however when i try to install any module through it just fails with this error below... #### Retrieving data online...
