    ./mozilla-bin: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/local/mozilla/components/spellchecker/libspel lchk.so: undefined symbol: StartAssignmentByValue__14nsXPIDLCString

    Anybody have a clue what I did wrong? I'm using the UNIX version of mozilla and downloaded the UNIX version of spellchecker.xpi...

    Anybody know if they re-released their spell checker so I can use mozilla again for email?

  6. government web sites on "Smart Tags," Round Two · · Score: 1

    It will be interesting to see how this effects government web sites. They are not allowed to endorse commercial products. It sounds like there is a clear distinction between normal hyperlinks and M$ smart tags. However, somehow I don't think this will be enough.

    Yeah... I think that broke in 0.8. Eric

  8. ldap support... now all we need is a spell checker on Mozilla 0.9.1 Out · · Score: 1

    It's good to see ldap support making it into the builds! This was a key feature before the Mozilla mail/news client could pick up steam in the business world. Now if they (we?) can only get a spell checker working...
    Netscape's existing spell checker can't be included due to licensing restrictions. That leaves preliminary plans for including Pspell. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like this will be included in 1.0...

    I'll be damned... Thanks a bunch!

  10. LDAP support? on Mozilla 0.9 Out · · Score: 1
    It's nice to see this browser is coming along so nicely! Quick question: Does anyone know when LDAP support will be offered in the Mail/News client? Until this support is included I cannot see a wide spread adoption from Netscape Messenger users.

    Reading the bugzilla report it doesn't seem like anyone is taking this problem that seriously...

  12. Re: *nix and Qwest on How Qwest Runs Things · · Score: 1
    I'm writing this article from a Linux machine using Qwest's service. Overall, I've been very happy with their service. I've encountered no problems from their end using *nix.

    If service in your area is anything like mine, make sure to request an "external modem". This comes in the form of a Cisco 675 router. Also, be prepared to be on your own as far as setup and maintenance is concerned. I havn't been particularly impressed with support. (Surprise!) They shipped the manuals for a later version of the BIOS then what was installed on the router. When I asked for a upgrade I got a lot of blank stares.

    Also, I sent Qwest the following security notice about Cisco routers that came out last month. Packet filtering doesn't seem to be included until this later version of the BIOS. As before, blank stares when I tried to get an upgrade. Looks like Cisco will offer free upgrades anyway... Just be prepared to be on your own for support.
