Liferea RSS reader question (and they don't seem to have their own list)
Folks, Sorry for this post here, but the Liferea folks don't seem to have their own list -- at least after a cursory search. The problem? I'm using Liferea 0.9.2 on Suse 9.1 and when I activate Liferea at a command line, the program starts, but I get an echo saying it can't find mime.xml in /home/~/.liferea/ I've Googled to no effect, and I downloaded and untarred the source files on the outside chance that some form of mime.xml might be contained therein. It wasn't. What exactly should mime.xml contain if I were to try to make (or copy) one from scratch? Sorry again for the not-terribly-SuSE-related post, but I figured I had to start somewhere... With best regards, Pete -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter N.

Looking at the source code for 2.6 seconds, it looks like mime.xml is a configuration file that actually gets generated by the program. So if you change the config of something they call the "enclosure" it should generate that file for you It doesn't appear to be a fatal error. It seems to just be that if you don't have it, you get the default configuration
Many thanks...especially for spending even 2.6 seconds with the source code! Pete -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter N.

I never saw such a path as '/home/~/.liferea/'; are you sure, that '/home/username/.liferea/' or '~/.liferea/' would be not better? Just a guess, hope, that it helps you. If not, probably you would like to give a try to the liferea-packages of P. Bleser. He provides only src.rpm of the 0.9.2 release for SUSE 9.1, but it can be easily rebuilt: http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ In fact I use on my 9.1 his newest package and it works flawlessly! In addition I don't have any 'mime.xml' file on my system... Best regards, Pelibali
