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