>Description:
Everybuddy looks for modules (e.g. for AIM, ICQ) in
/usr/X11R6/lib/everybuddy/. The port does install modules there, but
everybuddy doesn't find them. Here's the dir:
/usr/X11R6/lib/everybuddy/modules:
used 2088 available 1440658
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 3 09:58 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Jul 3 09:58 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 56028 Jul 3 09:58 aim-toc.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13533 Jul 3 09:58 autotrans.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 101314 Jul 3 09:58 icq.so
[... the rest elided ...]
It appears that it's only looking for files of extension ".la".
Here's the code from work/src/plugin.c near line 152:
/* Find names which end in .la, the expected module extension */
int select_module_entry(const struct dirent *dent) {
int len=0;
char *ext;
len=strlen(dent->d_name);
if(len<4)
return(0);
ext=(char *)dent->d_name;
ext+=(len-3);
eb_debug(DBG_CORE, "select_module_entry: %s[%s]\n", dent->d_name, ext);
if(!strncmp(ext, ".la", 3))
return(1);
return(0);
}
Since the modules the port installed end in .so, no legitimate modules
are found, rendering everybuddy useless.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run everybuddy from a terminal, turn on debugging (in Tools) and watch
the console output:
plugin.c[255]:load_modules - >Entering
plugin.c[152]:select_module_entry - select_module_entry: aim-toc.so[.so]
plugin.c[152]:select_module_entry - select_module_entry: icq.so[.so]
[...]
plugin.c[152]:select_module_entry - select_module_entry: autotrans.so[.so]
plugin.c[296]:load_modules - <No modules found in /usr/X11R6//lib/everybuddy/modules, returning.
Note that the code doesn't tell you that the file found is NOT a valid
module.
>Fix:
Unknown. I tried tweaking the code to allow it to return(1) when is
saw the .so files instead of (Linux-specific) .la files, but that
failed. I don't know why.
This may be a Everybuddy problem rather than a port problem. I've
tried to submit a report to their Bugzilla system but it seems
a bit shakey.
