On my FC5 (32 bit) installation, I used yumex to install Firestarter v

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.
Yes - file a bug report in bugzilla.
I maintain firestarter in extras, and 1.0.3-11.fc5 works just swell for
me. I *just* tested it on a virgin install (a box w/o previous
firestarter installed) and it "works for me".
Did you previously have a 0.9x version of firestarter?
If you yum update now (from command line) to 1.0.3-11.fc5, does it work?
Anyway - file a bug report in bugzilla.
The system was a pristine system, not even Windoze. It was loaded with
FC4 and sat for 2 weeks then was "upgraded" (not reloaded) via CDs to
FC5. Very little was done to it in FC4. I'm pretty confident that
Firestarter was not installed in FC4. When I went to install it after
the FC4/FC5 conversion, it was grabbed from Extras.
I investigated the 1.0.3-11.fc5 version install issue. When I tried
"yum update firestarter\* " It installed the 1.0.3-11.fc5 version and
it appears to be working with not reconfiguration requirements. It
would appear that my problem had something to do with the initialization
but I tried change protections on directories and removing and
reinstalling (2 times) to no avail.
If you think of any more data I can collect or tests I can run, let me know.
I will file a bug report tomorrow evening ...and thank you for the
response and your work on Firestarter.
