Hi Masters of the Unixverse!
When I start aMule (on MacOS X 10.3.5) (how to see aMule version in use? info on folder amule.app shows 0.1 !!!! is it aMule CVS?), I have always the message:
Unable to retrieve server list
No server list address entry in 'addresses.dat'. Please paste a valid serverlist address into this file in order to auto-update your serverlist
If I start it manually, the messages on the terminal are:
Initialising aMule
Userhash loaded: 722B9391520EA5ACE3BDBDD4B3F46FD1

(and after a while)
Hashing thread timed out with no aditions - removing thread

and the aMule log window shows:

Can't open file /Users/luis/.aMule/preferences.dat'
Failed to load creditfile
Loaded IP filter with 0 IP addresses
(if I create an empty preferences.dat, the messages about preferences.dat are not shown)
and no connection is possible. Every time I try to connect I got:
Connecting
No valid servers to connect in serverlist found
I tried EVERYTHING! nothing works (permissions, adding manual server list and changing prefs, some advices found on the FAQs, installing on different directories, even starting as root (okay: it is not a good idea but I'm really lost and unable to get clues about te problem)....... deleting and reinstalling each time, of course, I deleted and installed it hundreds of times)
Every time I try to put something on the field "servers" I got "invalid URL", ALWAYS! (maybe if I could open "file:/location/server.met", file that I downloaded from
http://www.srv1000.com, I had more clues, but I got ..... "invalid URL")
If I try to "add" a "manual server address" I got "Please enter a serveraddress", no matter what I put on this field (like previous one! always the same error message)
What I'm doing wrong? Where the problem can be?
Thanks in advance.
