What exact version of Linux are you using? 2. What version is reported by "rpm -qi libpng"? 3. Is your system up to date with all the current errata packages? (up2date or Ximian Red Carpet can help) 4. Have you manually upgraded libpng, or installed it from a source other than Red Hat? I'm going to hazard a couple of guesses: 1. If you are using Red Hat 7.something, you have probably upgraded libpng from some other source. In this case, download the .src.rpm and run "rpmbuild --rebuild dillo-0.7.3-1.src.rpm" as described on the RPM download page. 2. If you are using Red Hat 8 or 9, or another distribution that is listed on the RPM page, download the appropriate RPM instead. 3. If you are using another Linux distribution that is *not* listed, try the closest one that is (i.e. if you have Mandrake 9.0, the Mandrake 9.1 RPM might work) and, failing that, download the .src.rpm and install that as described above.

Installation Problem

by William Trenker

I'm getting the following error when installing Dillo. /packages# rpm -Uvh dillo-0.7.3-1.rh7.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libpng.so.2 is needed by dillo-0.7.3-1 /packages# l /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 5 21:05 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 -> libpng.so.3.1.2.1* I'm not sure what my next step should be. I'm wondering why libpng.so.2 is linked to a file called libpng.so.3? Do you think I should try and find an RPM for the libpng.so.2 library and reinstall that? Where do you think I would find such an RPM? I have had problems with web pages that have PNG's in them ever since Dillo 7.2 but everything was fine with Dillo 7.1 so I'm not sure what I should do. Thank you for any help you can offer. Bill -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

That should remove a number of messages. That is of course "#define DEBUG_LEVEL" ONLY, not the ifdef's .... silly me ...

I don't know what you mean by 'R' and if you're running *nix, but if you are, can't you use a small wrapper script that simply redirects stderr and stdout to /dev/null ? I use that all the time, for example, while running mencoder from a cronjob. --Ivo

Search for DEBUG_LEVEL in the source and remove all occurences. That should remove a number of messages. If you know your way around you can try http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/www/dillo/patches/ and look at the various patches. Most of them silence dillo, but some serve different purposes. Also, they are against 0.7.2 (at least right now), so double check.

focus on start

by Todd Slater

When I launch Dillo, the content part of the window is not focused so I have to click on the content to focus it and then I can page through it using the keyboard. Is that intentional, and is there a way I can make it start with the content part focused so I can immediately start scrolling through a page? Thanks, Todd

At first, I planned to implement mozilla-like options (which are documented as OpenURL but they are case insensitive: openurl works, too). Unix people are used to case sensitiveness, so I could switch to that, especially that there is no port to MSWindows or other case insensitive platform, yet (I have a doubt concerning VMS, though). > - Implementation.

So you can live with just the "nc" command. I'll read more about the dpi stuff and will think about how it could be used. Thanks for your comments! -- Melvin Hadasht
