Can you run it from a terminal and paste any backtraces you might get?

Do I need to post anything else or is there not a solution available?

Comment 4 Nick Dimiduk 2002-12-11 09:12:32 UTC

I get this same error.  I believe upon installing RH8.0 on my system, I recall
seeing something about a similar "assertion 'PATH != NULL' failed" warning
(error?) after the installation had completed and the X server was terminated. 
I tryed re-installing and recieved the same error, same problem with hwbrowser.
 If there's anything I can add aid this bug fix (I realize it's not a high
priority based on the number of results which came up in my search).
Thanks,
