provide detailed information on the hardware configuration of the machine. It can report exact memory configuration, firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU version and speed, cache configuration, bus speed, etc. on DMI-capable x86 or EFI (IA-64) systems and on some PowerPC machines.

Edit: added Fix for GLIBCXX issues for Wary and Quirky hopefully, let me know if it works or not.

So does it display all the info like it should? I was able to compile and run it but most of the info did not show in the GUI but the command line program can get it and export it info HTML.

Seems to display everything fine on my system and I was able to export reports into html and xml

What were your compile parameters then? I am using Wary. I tried your PET but it wanted a different glib.

What error was it giving you about glib, I don't use Wary so I don't think i'd be able to reproduce your error.

It looks like lshw is looking in the wrong place for the lib, it may have installed in a non-standard location for you for some reason, use pfind and figure out where it was installed and point lshw to that location.

No, I don't have GLIBCXX.

I have the same problem with lshw in Quirky - it only works for me in Lupu. Did you compile this from source or get it from a repo?

I compiled from source, I was trying to find it in a repo cause I was having trouble compiling it at first. Someone found a solution on a different forum for a similar problem and I will post a proposed solution when I get to a computer that I'm able to boot into puppy and compile on.
