Hi there,

I used Gutenbrowser 0.7.43 under Sharp Zaurus ROM
2.38 successfully for several months. I recently
upgraded my ROM to 3.10 (Linux kernel 2.4.18) and re-
installed Gutenbrowser. Since the upgrade I have found
the following problems:

- cannot open any Project Gutenberg e-texts; upon file
open the hourglass is displayed for about 10 seconds,
then an empty file is opened.
- When using Configure option as user "zaurus", the
message "file not opened successfully" is displayed

All of my other Zaurus apps are working file post-
uprade. Does anyone support this application? What
could be going wrong here?

Thanks,
Doug

    After installation, the files ftpList and GUTINDEX.ALL (both
    in Applications/gutenbrowser directory) belong to user root,
    and permissions are set to 644 (rw-r--r--). Hence the "file
    not opened successfully" message - gutenbrowser tries to
    open these files for i/o and permissions allow only for
    reading if executed under usercode 'zaurus'. I used
    terminal to change the permissions to 666, and the program
    stopped complaining about the files....
    Same problem with the gutenbrowser directory itself. I just
    chowned everything in that directory (including the
    directory itself) to user 'zaurus'. Then it started working...
