Title: Can't start on FreeBSD 6.3
Post by: DLH on January 21, 2009, 10:33:21 PM: I eventually got around the flex-headaches and managed to compile and install 2.2.3 locally. My joy was short-lived however as on the first run attempt and every one since I get this in terminal:
Code: [Select]
Initialising aMule 2.2.3 using wxGTK2 v2.8.9 Checking if there is an instance already running... There is an instance of aMule already running Raising current running instance. ...and nothing happens. I don't ever see a muleLock file on this OS and I even tried removing the ~/.aMule dir to see if any settings were a problem, but with the same results. I'm out of clues - please help !

Post by: DLH on January 22, 2009, 12:46:39 AM: I did - with identical results.

Post by: DLH on January 22, 2009, 11:45:54 PM: I will try it during the next time window for compiling - it takes a few hours on my ancient PC.

Post by: DLH on January 31, 2009, 12:59:52 AM: Success at last - big thanks, dude! The trick seems to have worked as 'mule starts up now, although muleLock is still absent and I received this log message:
Code: [Select]
Error: Failed to lock the lock file '/home/bsdard/.aMule/muleLock' (error 22: Invalid argument)

Post by: Stu Redman on January 31, 2009, 12:55:12 PM: Does that directory exist? Does it have write permissions for the user you're running aMule with?

Yes, it's my $HOME and I'm running it as myself.
