i am using 64bit Linux Mint, got the openxp-5.0.42-1.x86_64-lnx.zip from sourceforge and (after unpacking) started "sudo ./install.sh" as described in readme.1st

After that openxp is installed in /usr/local/lib

I can start openxp and make all settings for server etc. but when i go and make a netcall it shows a netcall window for a short moment and crashes back to the shell prompt. Without any error message.

Anyone has seen this? Any idea what could cause this?

i have looked for a log file but did not find any.

I hope someone can help :) Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Stephan

maybe can you run under gdb and get a backtrace or use strace to see
some system calls

I run the Win32/DOS version. There is also a DEBUGLOG file that could
reveal something.

There is one fellow here that is very familiar with the Linux edtion. Hopefully, he'll chime in at some point! (pun intended!) :)

Ignore my previous post. Apparently your error.log in the linux version contains the same stuff that DEBUGLOG.txt contains in my Win32/DOS
version.

Until the resident Linux-version-guy shows up, look at the messages in
your "¯ /¯Netcall" folder. They record the transaction details during a call/connection.

where is that Netcall folder supposed to be? it is not in my
/home/user/.openxp folder and not under /usr/local/lib/openxp

maybe it would be there after a successfull first netcall?

That might be the case. OXP does create areas dynamically as required.

The only other thing I could recommend is to follow the steps in Quick-
Start guide, exactly. I created a handy link to it here:

http://openxp.kolico.ca/

It's in the Get OpenXP sidepanel.

I remember it having several specific considerations for the Linux
version.

As you haven't yet made a successfull netcall, the folder won't have
been created yet. Once you do make a successfull netcall however, the
folder will show up in the message areas list.

Thanks, that did the trick. i have used Telnet and 23 as i thought that would make sense :) but TCP/IP and 24554 was the way to go.

Still, maybe someone could take a look into the openXP linux version and
find out why it crashes without an error on wrong server settings.

Thanks for the help!
