Trying to run gnatsweb

Hi all, I have installed gnats version 4.0 and am now in the process of
trying to run/debug gnatsweb. When I try and run the "test" script I get
the error "Gnatsweb unable to connect to the GNATS server", debugging
this problem I notice that the "test" script fails when it calls the
subroutine init_fieldinfo. This subroutine is actually implemented in
the file gnatsweb.pl. Specfically there is a a subroutine call "
client_cmd("list InitialRequiredFields") which fails. I actually tried
this list command myself by telnet'ing into the gnats server and trying
the command by hand, upon doing so I get the response "416 No such list
as InitialRequiredFields"
 
Is it safe to try and remove this particular call to client_cmd from the
test to get a positive result, 
 
Thanks in advance

Paul,

I am unable to reproduce this. Are you running the final version of 
GNATS 4.0? The InitialRequiredFields functionality was implemented 
rather late in 4.0 development, either right before beta 2 or right 
after it. You need to check that your gnatsd comes from the final 
version of 4.0.

Just a quick summary: It turned out that the gnatsd being run was indeed 
a pre-release version of 4.0 which didn't have the required functionality.
