Re: [Banshee-List] Wikipedia plugin

Excellent!  This is what OSS is all about :)
Patches are more than just welcome - they're encouraged. If you've got a better way of 
doing this, don't hesitate to contribute :)
I haven't changed it much since 0.0.1, other than I've been experimenting with using google searches of wikipedia to better find the right pages - for instance, when I play a song by Kansas, I get info about the state. Searching google for 'kansas band' returns only results with both words in it, and I use the auto-redirect to push it to wikipedia. It seems to return better results (about 95% of the time I get the correct 
page, versus right now probably only 75%).  Aside that, patch away my friend!
I will be putting this in the banshee SVN or my personal SVN (which I'm setting up this 
weekend) and we can work together better :)

I look forward to it!

-Patrick

Hello,
My Name is David Schneider, I#m a cs student from Germany.
	Some time ago i started writing a similar plugin for muine, but for
differtent reasons i never finished it. I had used a x-path based
aproach to parse the wikipedia pages. So if you don't mind i'd love to
contribute to the banshee-wikipedia plugin.

David

Interesting.  It looks almost like you have the gecko-sharp libraries
but not the
underlying mozilla libraries (or your gecko-sharp library is pointing
to the wrong
location).  Maybe I need to do something in my package to point to the
proper location
of a mozilla library.  I don't know.
I looked on my system for the library, and I found that it's
libgtkembedmoz.so:
trick mc /usr/lib $ find | grep gtkembedmoz.so
./mozilla/libgtkembedmoz.so
./gecko-sdk/lib/libgtkembedmoz.so
./mozilla-firefox/libgtkembedmoz.so

 From the looks of it, your installation of gecko-sharp just doesn't
have the library
reference set up (properly).  Maybe I need to include
gecko-sharp.dll.config in the
plugin install.
trick mc /usr/lib/mono/gac/gecko-sharp/2.0.0.0__ccf7d78a55e9f021 $ cat
gecko-sharp.dll.config
<configuration>
  <dllmap dll="libglib-2.0-0.dll" target="libglib-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libgobject-2.0-0.dll" target="libgobject-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libatk-1.0-0.dll" target="libatk-1.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll" target="libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="gtkembedmoz.dll" target="libgtkembedmoz.so"/>
</configuration>

If I were you, I'd drop a copy of your gecko-sharp.dll.config into
~/.gnome2/banshee/plugins and see what happens!  Might fix it for you :)

LMK if you make any progress!

Patrick
