Your Fuzzy God, if you think that would help at all, sure, I'll copy and paste and resubmit the info file.

I was playing with the snownews RSS reader.  It's great.  I wouldn't change it, so take the following as just an idea and not really a suggestion.

One thought I had for this and other text mode and X mode applications was to write a shell script that lets you run firefox in X windows or links or netriks in pure text mode.  I made a browser_wrapper script and used the B command in snownews to set the browser to /home/dsl/.snownews/browser_wrapper %s.  Then I made this script which check for X and then chooses the correct browser to use:

Code Sample
#!/bin/bash

if ps -ax | grep -q startx   # are we running X windows?
then
    firefox $*
else
    if [ -e /usr/local/bin/netrik ]
    then
         netrik $*
    else
         if [ -e /usr/local/bin/links ]; then links $*; fi
    fi
fi

Ultracool Clacker, thanks a lot.

I made a package of the latest Blender version 2.40 and tried to upload it despite my dial-up connection. Sendmefile.com told me after the upload that they don't accept tar.gz. Ok, i could zip it, but maybe someone knows of a better upload server?

Have you tested your blender with python?
I have a blender 2.40 uci built, but there are problems with it and the python extensions....it may need its own python due to the extensions missing some stuff that the new blender needs.

3D-Penguin: I'm editing this post rather than making another, since i probably shouldn't have gone off-topic in the first place.
The problem is at least a missing struct, although there could be more.  My blender 2.40 package finds python (mydsl version) without trouble, but seems to error every time i try to use a python plugin.  It works fine with non-python tasks.
It was made from the blender static build (basically just a repackage of the original into uci format), just as the working 2.36 uci package was.

As of DSL 2.x, the cloop limit is now 64 =o)

Hi mikshaw,

What kind of problems? I made an autosetup for the Python path and it has the proper Python version 2.3.4 (Linux version only).

This Blender version was made for use with Python 2.3.4 so what's wrong. I myself rather use Blender 2.34, cause i need a complete and working game engine. I did not extensively test 2.40, I rather use good old 2.34. And i did not make them a uci cause i read about a limit of four of them. Is that still valid?
