i run fc1 and installed gnumeric from rpm (gnumeric-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm) but it hangs
strace gnumeric gives
.. time(NULL) = 1077638356 recv(17, "Keep-Alive: timeout=60\r\nContent-"..., 2048, 0) = 2048 time(NULL) = 1077638356 time(NULL) = 1077638356 time(NULL) = 1077638356 time(NULL) = 1077638356 time(NULL) = 1077638356 select(18, [17], NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 1 (in [17], left {1, 0}) time(NULL) = 1077638356 recv(17, "tion/octet-streamI\0\31document-for"..., 1217, 0) = 1217 uname({sys="Linux", node="sr-yy.stjohn.resnet.ubc.ca", ...}) = 0 close(17) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, NULL, 8) = 0 gettimeofday({1077638356, 887007}, NULL) = 0 time(NULL) = 1077638356 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 17 fcntl64(17, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 setsockopt(17, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0 setsockopt(17, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0 connect(17, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631), sin_addr=inet_addr("128.189.137.xx")}, 16
i'm on a dhcp lan and the last ip address is not mine (xx and yy above are numbers)
any ideas? gabriel
I don't have a solution, but I recall similar symptoms when I attempted adding a router to a machine that previously was config'd with a static IP. As soon as I added the router, and reconfig'd the box to get its ip dynamically from the router, Gnumeric stopped working. I ran strace like you did, and I saw the same message (but with my old static ip in there instead or your ip).
The router was a temporary thing anyway, so when I removed it, and re-config'd the machine to assign its ip manually, the problem you and I both experienced immediately went away.
It was as though Gnumeric wasn't aware that I had changed how the ip was assigned!
I know this isn't a solution, but perhaps both of our having similar problems related to Gnumeric and the ip address may be of some help to someone else that can diagnose the problem.
