On my FC5 (32 bit) installation, I used yumex to install Firestarter v
1.0.3 from the extras repo and got the latest version:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/i386/firestarter-1.0.3-11.fc5.i386.rpm
However, I was getting an error saying:
"A proper configuration for Firestarter was not found. If you are
running Firestarter from the directory you built it in, run 'make
install-data-local' to install a configuration, or simply 'make
install' to install the whole program.
Firestarter will now close."
Since Google told me that this was an issue going from 0.9.x versions to
1.0.x versions and a fix was to remove the configuration files, I tried
that but had no luck. I tried more searches but could find nothing
regarding this problem with FC5. I finally went to look at the
repository to see if I could grab an older version. I found the
following, which I installed, (couldn't get any worse, I figured).
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/5/i386/firestarter-1.0.3-10.fc5.i386.rpm
This older version works.
Interesting is the fact that yumex does not now show an update being
available, now, as I would have expected, since I believe there was
something like a month between the releases.
Has anyone else encountered this and where should I report it? I assume
bugzilla but is there a category for extras? (I'm a novice at bugzilla
in almost all aspects)
Thanks for any input.
