OK, especially for you I re-installed 431 and tried again.

I loaded f-prot and then ran my pet.

It all worked ok.

So, what Puppy are you using?

Do you have an 'xfprot' directory in /user/local

What does it contain ?

If you have, what happens when you try to run xfprot-gtk ?

Hi Tasmod,

Thanks for going to all that trouble. I'm running puppy 4.3.1. I have it installed on two different machines, one is an old Compaq Presario and this one is an IBM 380. Neither will run the GUI.

I just re-installed 4.3.1 to the laptop the other day and ran the xfprot "installer" from the menu. I do have the /usr/local/f-prot and /usr/local/xfprot folders after the installation. I just tried to open a terminal at /usr/local/f-prot and run fpscan on the laptop, and I get the following error:

[tasmod]

Try

./xfprot-gtk

If you get the "running as root" then "version" messages then you are there but need to run my pet, then it should continue on.

Hi Rob,

thanks for the help! Well, ./xfprot-gtk does open the gui, but sadly I get no further than I do when I run it from the menu on the laptop. Basically, I end up with the can't detect the version message and the only option quits, even with your patch applied.

There's something deeper going on here with regard to f-prot itself since it won't run from the comand line. Since I"m using frugal, I'm going to replace the sfs file and take another run at the install.

Y.

This is my experience too.
