Re: Gnome over Exceed

[Wilfried Steiner <steiner vmars tuwien ac at>]

Thanks to all of you for the prompt and competent help !!

I tried truss while executing gnomines ;-), and look what I got:

574:    stat64("/export/home/steinerw/.gnome2/accels/gnomine", 0xFFBFECD8) = 0
574:    open("/export/home/steinerw/.gnome2/accels/gnomine", O_RDONLY) = 14
574:    read(14, " ;   g n o m i n e   G t".., 4000)    = 433
574:    read(14, 0x0004E458, 4000)                      = 0
574:    close(14)                                       = 0
574:    door_info(4, 0xFFBFC900)                        = 0
574:    door_call(4, 0xFFBFC8E8)                        = 0
574:    so_socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP, "", 1) = 14
574:    fcntl(14, F_SETFD, 0x00000001)                  = 0
574:    setsockopt(14, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 0xFFBFEB94, 4, 1) = 0
575:    read(0, 0xFFBFEFE4, 12)         (sleeping...)
574:    connect(14, 0xFFBFEB78, 16, 1)  (sleeping...)
>>and now waiting for some minutes :-(


Seems that there is a problem with the socket connection,
but, I'm ashamed, I've absolutely no idea what the concrete problem is
and how to fix it.

Somebody a clue for that ?

Thanks again & best regards,
wilfried
