Hi there,



after silently reading on this list for some months I now have a problem 
I can't solve with all my friends, so I'm going to ask my first question 
here. First I am no programmer or something like that, but just a user, 
so excuse me if these are quite silly questions to ya geeks :o)


SuSE version is 9.1 x86-64


My first problem is the software "pybliographer" (provided with the 
DVDs) which gives the following output when trying to start:

nist@yeeshor:~> pybliographer

   File "/opt/gnome/share/pybliographer/pybrc.py", line 5, in ?

   File "/opt/gnome/share/pybliographer/Pyblio/recode.py", line 22, in ?
     import _recode
ImportError: No module named _recode

I googled around and found out that recode 3.6 has a bug which makes it 
unsuitable for pybliographer, so I tried to install from source with the 
provided patch applied: 
http://www.pybliographer.org/help/recode/view?searchterm=recode

The configure from SuSEs recode sources exited because of the missing 
64bit support. Same with the original gnu sources. After replacing 
config.sub and config.guess with newer versions from the installed 
(/usr/share) libtool configure succeeded.

But the "make" afterwards then complained about some m4 stuff. See

http://nopaste.php.cd/24184

for details.


Since pybliographer did not work as intended, I tried to run bibview 
instead. But it core dumped with a segmentation violation in a "strcpy"
right at startup.

I'm a little stuck at this point and fear to handle all my bibliography 
manually with a plain text editor for my thesis.


Any hints from your side? Help is very much appreciated!




Thanks in advance,


Nicole
