Looking for a good one that's easily installable and upgradeable. I'm running Suse 9 and KDE 3.1. Thanx for any help.

Check out apollon (http://apollon.sourceforge.net/). It allows you to work on Gnutella, OpenNap, FastTrack, and OpenFT. It has a nice interface, and has overall worked very well for me over the past year. Regards, Pieter Hulshoff

This may be of some help to someone who's having problems getting Apollon working. I installed it using apt/synaptic, and it starts up fine, and I can connect to OpenFT if it's the only plugin enabled. If I enable Gnutella, or FastTrack, it just errors out. --------------------------------- *** GIFT-FATAL: unable to start 'FastTrack', no idea why (hopefully the protocol provided some info) *** Often times more information can be found in the log file or with the -v command line switch. ------------------------------- So... dug up the log file, and it was complaining that I didn't have the FastTrack config in $HOME/.giFT According to the log it was trying to to copy it from /usr/local/share/giFT But.. from what I could tell it wasn't actually copying anything. So.. I had to manually copy the config file for each plugin I installed via apt. Restarted Apollon, and can connect to all networks I've installed/ enabled plugins for. Hope this helps.... C.

How about the following error: configure: error: Library requirements (libgift >= 0.11.1 libgift < 0.12.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. I have combed over the install.sh file and find nothing resembling the PKG_CONFIG_PATH ...but, then, I'm not terribly script-savvy, either. :-\ <LOL> Can someone please help me with this??

Looks to me like one of the dependancies for compiling Apollon isn't available. Look at the last 20 or 30 lines of the log file in the directory you unpacked Apollon in (where the install.sh file is). The log file will give you a clue as to what's missing on your system. My guess is that giFT isn't installed on your system, and that the installer doesn't include the entire giFT package - don't really know since I installed it using Synaptic/apt4rpm. You may need to install giFT first. BTW, you can use simple tools like the whereis command to find things... for example: whereis libgift on my system gives me: libgift: /usr/local/lib/libgift.la /usr/local/lib/libgift.so If you can't find ligift on your computer, try installing giFT seperately, and then run the install.sh again.

I'm terribly sorry! I did check to see if the libgift was in place, and it is. After I checked that I went to a virtual console to try the process one more time, and got the same error. I am trying pkgconfig, right now, to see if that helps. - -- ...CH Avoid doing business with 'The Link' ISP.

Check out: http://www.slyck.com/ (Shows p2p networks by number of users) FastTrack 3,184,596 eDonkey 1,646,115 iMesh 1,061,355 Overnet 1,032,192 MP2P 254,628 Gnutella 234,618 DirectConnect 215,880 Filetopia 4,184 Ares 0 A relevant discussion: http://www.ckyforums.com/index.php?showtopic=4096 The biggest problem is firewall holes and if you are going to be sharing big files or little files. Using eDonkey for relatively small files doesn't work too well. I am going to try Pieter's recommendation of http://apollon.sourceforge.net/ I use eDonkey with g2gui interface with Mozilla but it took some reading to get setup correctly. I think it is very popular outside of the US. I find files to download at http://www.filedonkey.com/ Which also has user reports on fakes. I used gnutella for a long time. My person opinion is that it should be avoided unless you want a lot of small files.
