If > you don't have one it core dumps. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- I have an IDE ATAPI CD-ROM which, during the boot, is recognized as /dev/acd0c So, I created a symbolic link to the raw device rmatcd0c, that is: # cd /dev # ln -s acd0c rmatcd0c When I type the command 'kscd' on the prompt (using the Terminal or even the Konsole), a window appears: ' Enter the local CDDB base Directory' and it shows a path: /usr/local/share/apps/kscd/cddb There are 2 buttons in this Window: 'OK' and 'Cancel' If I choose 'OK', an error message will happen: QDir:: readDirEntries: Cannot read the directory: /usr/local/share/apps/kscd/cddb Segmentation fault (core dumped) Otherwise, if 'Cancel' is chosen, the window closes and only the CD Player window remains, but with a message on it: 'No matching CDDB entry found' The tracking list is similar to 01: <Unknown> 02: <Unknown> 03: <Unknown. etc Of course, the kscd does not play... I take a look at /usr/local/share/apps/kscd/cddb, but the only thing I found was a subdirectory called 'pics' with 2 .xpm files. And that was all. How could I fix it? Obs: I use also Red Hat 5.1 with KDE 1.1 and the kscd works fine.
