Hi,
amuleweb crashes every time after login on Ubuntu Feisty. I think it's an Ubuntu packet problem. I tried to start it manualy on a terminal and before crashing it showed me a message like  this "can't find black.gif" or similar (i don't remember).  I've copied the webserver directory from  the source code tarball and it worked but now it's showing me other errors about other files not found. I've installed the official ubuntu packet. Tonight i'm going to compile Amule from source code.

I already heard such report. Can you post flags that were used for package compilation?

[maciste]

I don't know how to get these flags.  I've used the official ubuntu Amule and not the source code version.

Here are the flags.

confflags = --prefix=/usr --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man --infodir=\$${prefix}/share/info \
       --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-ccache --disable-debug      \
       --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd --enable-ed2k --enable-webserver   \
       --enable-amule-gui --enable-cas --enable-wxcas --enable-alc --enable-alcc   \
       --disable-embedded-crypto

OK, flags looks OK, now I need to see "configure" output in order to check whether libpng is detected. And it must be listed in package dependencies (I guess).

[wuischke]

This one's missing now. (I've just downloaded the source tarball)

Build-Depends: autotools-dev, debhelper, quilt, libglib2.0-dev, zlib1g-dev, libgd2-xpm-dev, libreadline5-dev, libcrypto++-dev, libwxgtk2.8-dev, wx2.8-i18n

[lfroen]

That's your explanation. Package is built without libpng.

[madmanlxl]

Simple question about the above mentioned.
Is there going to be a fixed build out shortly? or maybe a how to for those of us that do not entirly understand what you were saying above. (me being one of those)

Hell not sure what to do with this line. --^   :-S

Is there going to be a fixed

I have no idea where this package is coming from or who's maintaining it.

The package is that of which is contained in the default ubuntu packages. at least this is the case for me.

Is there a way i can go about fixing the problem? As i have already install the packages and also installed the source of  libpng but still a no go.

btw. amuled is working fine its just the the web component doesn't generate the png files at all.

Thanks for the report. wuischke has notified me at IRC, and I'll fix it.

libpng is there at build time, since it's a dependency of a build-dependency. The problem is that since it's not explicitly mentioned, debhelper doesn't put it at the "Depends:" field, so end users may miss it, which is what has happened.

Cheers

Actually this means that configure doesn't fine libpng headers and as a result disables dynamic images.

libpng is there at build time

configure doesn't think so. Check it's output whether libpng is detected.

From http://librarian.launchpad.net/6720266/buildlog_ubuntu-feisty-i386.amule_2.1.3-1ubuntu2_FULLYBUILT.txt.gz
(latest Ubuntu build on 2007-03-09)

Libraries aMule will use to build:
                                       wxWidgets             2.8.1
                                       crypto++              5.2.1
                                       libpng                1.2.15beta5
                                       libgd                 2.0.34
                                       zlib                  1.2.3

So it's installed, detected and used
