Re: Beagle problems on FC3

[jmb365 <jmb365 bright net>]

Here is what I have found so far, with the beagle 0.0.11.1 installation 
on my kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.  It is a nice package, with a lot of 
promise!  BTW I am using it in a Gnome desktop...

I have solved the problem of "best" crashing, by making changes to 
"/usr/bin/best" in the references to "usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.8" to 
"/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.10" (or whatever is appropriate for your computer) 
as shown below:

   MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.10
   MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.10
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.10:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

But now have run into another!  I am able to make "best" work & show 
search results, but when I click on some search entries no windows open 
up to display the file & I get:

Open URI: action:_tile_9!Open
Cmd: htmlview
Arg:  'file:///home/.../File1.html'
Error in OpenFromMime: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Cannot find 
the specified file
in [0x00289] (at 
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mono-1.1.7/mcs/class/System/System.Diagnostics/Process.cs:823) 
System.Diagnostics.Process:Start_common 
(System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo, 
System.Diagnostics.Process process)
in [0x00007] (at 
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/mono-1.1.7/mcs/class/System/System.Diagnostics/Process.cs:856)

in <0x0023a> Beagle.Tile.Tile:OpenFromMime (Beagle.Hit hit, 
System.String command_fallback, System.String args_fallback, Boolean 
expects_uris_fallback)

Seems to happen with files like (.html; .pdf; .gif) and maybe other file 
types that I have not tested.

The GOOD news is, some files (like .xls;  .doc) seem to open by 
OpenOffice being invoked:

Open URI: action:_tile_482!Open
Cmd: oowriter
Arg:  'file:///home/.../File2.doc'
Rendering
Done Rendering: 6.32s

Any clue as to what I can do to fix this partial problem with .html & 
.pdf files without having to compile "beagle" from sources, because I 
tried that and quickly ran into dependency hell!

Thanks all
