Galeon uses external programs to convert man pages and info documents to html. Apparently version 1.2.5 hard-codes the names of these external programs as "gnome-man2html2" and "gnome-info2html2". Those programs have different names on Mandrake 9.0, so browsing man pages with Galeon fails, and might crash the browser. I corrected this problem by simply creating a symlink to the actual programs as they are named in Mandrake 9.0. ln -s /usr/lib/gnome2-man2html /usr/bin/gnome-man2html2 ln -s /usr/lib/gnome2-info2html /usr/bin/gnome-info2html2 Restart Galeon and things work fine again. -Vince LinuxPunk Frequent user Joined: 27 Sep 2002 Posts: 53 Post Posted: Sun Oct 06, 2002 11:06 pm Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ OR, even better yet, just use the "man" and "info" commands in console! Looks much better that way anyways. Smile Editor's note: This thread was originally posted at the old MUB (Mandrake User Board at club-nihil).
