HTMLview.mcc for OS3 is hosed! Can't run AmRSS!

On the other 2 system (AOS4 and MOS) the native one. (is a triple boot classic system here)




 

Framiga, if you're able to run AmRSS v5.57, I'd be very interested to see you list the particular versions of all your .library & .mcc files as I have, above.  In fact, you can cut & paste the requirements from that posting & fill in your versions of the .library & .mcc files.

I'd also be interested if wurzel would do the same, since he's claiming that he's running AmRSS v5.57 under OS3.x.

BTW, I've d/led & installed newer versions of OpenURL, now @ version 7.0  (07/29/05) & codesets.library v6.8 (01/04/09).

It appears that codesets.library was just updated today.  I d/led from SourceForge.  It appears that some fixes to it was made, especially for MOS users.

I'm interested in those OS3.x users able to run AmRSS v5.57 to see what versions of the .library & .mcc files they've got.  I'm thinking maybe an older version of one of these is needed instead of a newer version.

I've also got a SnoopDOS.log file that I'd like some help with, since I never ran SnoopDOS before, as Matt_H suggested I do.  I wrote Matt_H a private message about this, so Matt_H, check your account.

@Rabbi
I'll get a versions list together for you tomorrow m8.

[Framiga]

after doing some quick tests on OS4 also (yes Rabbi i know you are not interested in this but sometimes it helps to find out the problem on other AmigaOS and alike systems), i'm 99% sure that the HTMLview is not the issue here (even using the 68k version on AOS4).

I'll try to buils a list of my mcc and libraries ASAP.

Can you post here the SnoopDos log? (only the amrss part)

[Framiga]

here the

AmigaOS3.9BB2 LIBS Version list

and

AmigaOS3.9 BB2 MCC Version list

and a


plain LIST

[xPhilx]

@Rabbi

Here's the differing file versions I have, all those not listed are the same as yours:
 
·OS 3.9 no BB1 or BB2
*.Mexpat.library 5.0 (01/04/08) is in /amrss/etc/libs/
·NListTree.mcc        18.27  [020] (12/19/07)
·NListView.mcc        19.75  [020] (12/19/07)
·TheBarVirt.mcc       21.5   [020] (12/21/07)
·TheButton.mcc        21.5   [020] (12/21/07)

amrss uses:

·asyncio.library      40.3         (07/28/00)
·CManager.library     10.0         (09/19/99) *LOL, I'm way behind with this one!
·openurl.library       3.0         (09/26/99)
·CManager.mcc         13.1         (09/19/99) *..and this one!

I'll see if I can break my AmRSS with the versions you have later.

Just to add a little info... AmRSS 5.57 does work on OS3.9.  It's actually included with AmiKit.  

I've never used AmRSS on my personal setup, but I booted AmiKit and AmRSS 5.57 did indeed seem to work just fine, updates and everything.

AmiKit:
HTMLview.mcc - 12.6
and HTMLview.mcp - 12.5

Openurl.library is version 7.4 though, which you can download here:

http://alfie.altervista.org/soft/index.html

As others have said looks like something other than HTMLview at this point.


EDIT:
Also checked:
thebarvirt.mcc - 26.2
thebutton.mcc - 26.2

codesets.library - 6.6

[xPhilx]

-UPDATE-
AmRSS seems to be pretty bullet-proof here Rabbi.  I've installed all the file versions you're using other than TheBarVirt.mcc and TheButton.mcc which both remain at V21.5 here; I couldn't find V26.1.  I did find 'V26.2' but it was V21.5 in the archive.  All this was done on an A4KD 040 / Picasso IV / Ariadne II / OS3.9.

I had a clean install of OS3.1 on my A3KD 040 / Prometheus / Voodoo 3 / 8029 NIC so I tried AmRSS on that.  I installed it manually and all was fine.  The only way I could get it to crash was to remove the 'HTMLview' directory and its contents from mui:libs/mui/.  Removing this directory and trying to view a feed that has images crashes my AmRSS.  Have you tried a feed without images?

wurzel,

Ok, there's hope, I guess.  Could you list me your library & MCC versions, as I have, above?  I'm really curious to see what versions you've got.

Hi Rabbi,

As I said, I'm running AmRss on my system with no problem.

What I've got in my system:

OS 3.9 BB2
MUI 3.8

amrss   5.57 (14.01.2008) 68k version

·codesets.library 6.5
·mexpat.library - Not on my system!
·Busy.mcc 17.37
·HTMLview.mcc 12.6
·NList.mcc 20.121
·NListTree.mcc 18.28
·NListView.mcc 19.76
·TheBarVirt.mcc 26.2
·TheButton.mcc 26.2

amrss uses:

·asyncio.library 39.2
·CManager.library 10.5
·openurl.library 7.0
·CManager.mcc 13.5
·MiniMailer Not on my system!

Hope that helps.

Um, I turned on all the options.  This was my first time using it.  Is there some site I can post my SnoopDOS.log file to?  It's a bit too much to post it here.

I want to thank the Amiga community for helping me get this far.  I have a very busy week, unfortunately, & won't really be able to get back to it until at least this Saturday night.  I'll be checking here, though, for responses for a site to post my SnoopDOS.log file to.  I'd appreciate some help it understanding it.  It's more a problem of having the time to go through it personally, but if anyone can mentor me with understanding what to look for, I'd graciously appreciate that.  This way, in the future, I can read it on my own.

[Rabbi]

I've got the SnoopDOS.log file, but it's too big.  I've got all the possible switches turned on, too.  If you write me a private message with your e-mail address, I'll send it to you.  Thanks in advance to all who've helped me so far.  Let's see if I can finally resolve it with the community's assistance.

I've been having the same problem with AmRSS (lock-up after updating feed) and I was really hoping this thread would give me a hint as to what may be the problem. If anyone has any further insight into this, please share! Many thanks!
