Hi,
I'm trying to use a newer version of dbus/hal because I want HAL 0.5.0.
So I removed the installed rpm's of dbus and HAL version 0.4.7 on my FC3.

Then I compiled dbus 0.32 and hal 0.5.0

=46rom documentation, I read that I start dbus with 'dbus-daemon --system'
When I do this, dbus-daemon is not started. I get no information whatsoever=
=20
about what's wrong. I start it being root.
The second time, I get the message :
[root@localhost ~]# dbus-daemon --system
=46ailed to start message bus: The pid file "/usr/local/var/run/messagebus.=
pid"=20
exists, if the message bus is not running, remove this file
meaning for me that _something_ has happened.

Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks,
Edwin
