[Gnue-dev] Adventures with geas: strange old parser?

[Holger Schurig]

This morning I had some adventures with geas. I've got the CVS version 
of it and had some sort of trouble. So I compiled it with 
--enable-debug. I was able to resolve some of it with on #gnuenterprise 
with neilt. Other things remain open.

I used the geas.conf file in the geas/src directory as a starting point 
and changed it so that one one classdir and methodir line was in there, 
pointing to the ../examples.

When I started geas-server, it said something like:

holger:/usr/src/gnue/geas/src# ./geas-server
Trying to open config file '/usr/local/etc/geas.conf'
nope, so trying config file 'geas.conf'
