I also have the above problem when I attempt to run gpilotd-control-applet: cbagwell@brew4me { 1008 } >gpilotd-control-applet ** ERROR **: Error initializing gpilotd capplet aborting... Aborted I have been able to use some gnome palm pilot tools with redhat 6.x'ish but haven't tried to use those tools again until the Limbo/Null beta using Gnome 2.0. No luck with the beta versions. Gpilotd doesn't seem to be running... If I manually run this I get the following messages that seem good: gpilotd-Message: gnome-pilot 0.1.65 starting... gpilotd-Message: compiled for pilot-link version 0.11.3 gpilotd-Message: compiled with [VFS] [GOAD] [USB] [IrDA] [Network] gpilotd-WARNING **: Number of devices is configured to 0 gpilotd-WARNING **: No accessible devices available gpilotd-WARNING **: Number of pilots is configured to 0 gpilotd-Message: Activating CORBA server But running the capplet still fails with this... No other ideas to try.
