Yeah, tell me about the nasty problems with Crytpo 5.6, as you can read in the Solaris compilation soap story.
I'll try recompiling aMule on Mandriva with 5.5.2 as well, see if I can get the GUI to connect with all functionality. I'll let you know.
And unfortunately, nope, that's not it. I can connect to the daemon, I see the ed2k servers, categories in the transfer window, I see the shared files in their window, and I even can change all the preferences. But I can't see the actual transferred files, neither download nor upload.
