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 !

Can you try to create a second user and start aMule with this user? (To see if the lock mechanism has a problem.)

[DLH]

I did - with identical results.

I will try it during the next time window for compiling - it takes a few hours on my ancient PC.

Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

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)

[Stu Redman]

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.
