Try running gnatsd standalone... /libexec/gnats/gnatsd If it comes up fine, you can then try creating a PR manually using the 'subm' command. You'll need to create a PR file and cut-and-paste it into the gnatsd "shell" after invoking the 'subm' command....end the input with a '.' on a line by itself. This may result in an error that will pinpoint the problem. The fact that a "gnats.lock" is left in your gnats-adm directory implies that gnatsd is dumping core. If you get a core dump when you try the above, email the help list with the stack trace and we may be able to help you further. > 2. Is a translation generally possible (may be there are hardcoded fieldnames, etc) The gnats server itself uses a few builtin fields...these can be identified by the inclusion of a 'builtin-name' entry in the field definition in the dbconfig. As long as you leave the builtin-name entry alone, you should be able to change the name....the builtin-name's are hardcoded in the gnats server. Note that gnatsweb has a number of hardcoded field names and unfortunately, it does *not* use the builtin-names...so it will fail. You'll need to hack it and rename all the hardcoded fields ...or perhaps someone will be gracious enough to fix it so that it also uses the builtin-names defined in the dbconfig. This won't be straightforward, because the gnats server itself will need to be enhanced to return the builtin fields along with their builtin names. Unfortunately, send-pr also has a few hardcoded field names ...the ones you really need to worry about are 'responsible' and 'category'. Once again, the only alternative for getting this to work, is to hack it and replace the hardcoded field names. -- Mel Hatzis _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list Help-gnats@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats
