When I click on the "Book" icon in Dillo 1.3.0, select "view page source" from the menu or try to load a page from disk I get the message:

"ERROR: can't start dpid daemon (URL scheme='dpi') or 'file'

I looked at the code and this message is generated at line 716 in capi.c. However, it looks like the dpid daemon is started at a different place in the code way before it gets to that line. Where in the code does Dillo try to start this daemon? I would like to put some trace messages in there to locate the problem.

It's started in src/IO/dpi.c, in the function Dpi_start_dpid: http://hg.dillo.org/dillo_port1.3/file/e3701d456f60/src/IO/dpi.c#l347 ~Benjamin

I'm using dillo_port1.3 and needed to specify a more unique location for my installed dpid binary file. So likely for your situation, make sure the default binary location "dpi_dir=/usr/lib/dillo/dpi" is correct. $ cat .dillo/dpidrc #dpi_dir=/usr/lib/dillo/dpi dpi_dir=/home/roger/src/dillo/install/lib/dillo/dpi Also, if you ever kill dillo and upgrade dillo, make sure the old dpid is manually killed or else you'll get odd problems after starting the newer upgraded Dillo. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
