Not much later... looks like some incompatability here: /usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `ospeed' changed from 2 to 4 in /usr/lib/libncurses.so
Ooops. This usually means that the declarations for ospeed differ between nn and ncurses. Try and check if and where ospeed is declared (possibly in one of the included headers).
NN's closing status message still "blanks out" on an xterm.
Care to be specific? Maybe I could give you a hint on how to fix this.
When nn terminates, it produces a message stating the number of articles in groups which are still unread - or announces proudly that "No news is good news." Those messages appear immediately after a screen clear (visible on a virtual console or the "Linux console" emulation under KDE kconsole/kvt) and are followed by the shell prompt. eg There are still 7 unread articles in 6 groups ! $ On an xterm (or kdeconsole in default setting), that message is lost and the shell prompt appears immediately after the initial NNTP connection messages that nn produces before clearing the screen and presenting the first newsgroup article menu. The initial NNTP connection stuff is of course wiped out on the virual console and the emulation thereof. I have a sneaking suspicion that it has to do with the way in which screen clears are implemented on xterms. But my memory is too vague to recall termcap/curses details and how they relate to xterms. BTW: I tried the "Enable curses emulation" in an xterm; no change. Tested with bash and ksh. I can send you the config.h I used for building 'nn' in case you want to try to reproduce the problem... Michael T Pins is putting together an alpha version 7 of nn; but that doesn't mean that even a beta will be available by the end of the year. -- Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning Perth, Western Australia -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
