I've been running exmh on a Slackware Linux distribution for some time now.
Last week, I upgraded my system to RedHat 4.0, running kernel 2.0.23. I am
also using the MetroX X server. The RedHat distribution included exmh-1.6.7,
and I had been running 1.6.9, so instead of installing the rpm I d/l a copy
from Bruce's site and installed it.
I use xdm and fvwm. I have a button set up to bring up exmh. When I try to
access exmh via the button, exmh tries to start up, and seems to hang after I
see "Starting: /usr/local/bin/exmh-bg" on the status line. If I click on a
folder, I get an error box with the message:
couldn't execute "scan": no such file or directory
while executing
"open "|$mhProfile(scan-proc) +$F last:$ftoc(scanSize)
-width $ftoc(scanWidth)""
invoked from within
"set input [open "|$mhProfile(scan-proc) +$F last:$ftoc(scanSize)
(other stuff cut for brevity),
and when I dismiss that dialogue box, I see "tkerror: couldn't execute "scan":
no suc ..." on the status line.
BUT...
I can immediately go to an xterm session, execute exmh, and the program runs
with no problems.
I'm sure that this is something stupid, like a path screwed up somewhere, but
I can't seem to find it. The .profile and .bashrc that load with the shell
don't set any paths. I do that in .xsession. I'm not an X-god, so there's
probably something I'm missing, but I don't have a clue where to look. Any
ideas?
Thanks!
