System:
Linux (e.g. Debian, Redhat 9, SUSE 9)

Symptom:
Starting XQM results in a Python backtrace dump:

QUOTE

File "<string>", line 8, in ?
File "iu.py", line 274, in importhook
File "iu.py", line 357, in doimport
File "/usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/wxpython/_init_.py", line 20, in ?
File "iu.py", line 274, in importhook
File "iu.py", line 339, in doimport
File "iu.py", line 181, in getmod
File "archive.py", line 380, in getmod
File "iu.py", line 46, in getmod
ImportError: libwx_gtkd-2.4.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file


Solution:
For some reason, RedHat (and maybe some other distris) wants the lib in the search path.
So just do a
> cd xqm
> cp libwx_gtkd-2.4.so /usr/lib

and make sure that /usr/lib is in your PATH variable.

System:
Redhat 9.0

Symptom:
Openssl is installed and /usr/lib is in my PATH, but I still get
ImportError: libcrypto.so.0.9.6: cannot open shared object [...]"

Solution:
Create a symbolic link from version 0.9.6 to your current lib version, e.g.
ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7a /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6

Don't confuse /lib with /use/lib. RedHat searches /lib at first!

System:
Linux with kernel >2.4.1, e.g. RedHat 9

Symptom:
XQM hangs or yields a core dump, when querying the queue.

Solution:
The way how threads are handled by the kernel has changed since RedHat 9.
See http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/R...ease-notes/x86/ for details.

Since XQM and XQMAgent use threads extensively, they are both affected by this change.

For better compatibility, you should wrap them into a startup script which forces the system to emulate the old thread scheme:

------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.4.1"
./xqmwin # or ./xqmagent
------------------------------

Don't forget to do
chmod 755 scriptname

System:
Unix and derivates

Symptom:
XQM Command Line just dumps a traceback error:

QUOTE

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 40, in ?
File "<string>", line 36, in __init__
File "/root/work/lib/xmaillib.py", line 239, in __init__
File "/root/work/lib/xmaillib.py", line 149, in get_rootpath
NO_MAIL_ROOT


Solution:
Just enter
export MAIL_ROOT=/var/MailRoot
before starting XQM/CMD.

You can wrap this export statement in a script or put it generally into your /etc/profles.

System:
Mandrake Linux 10.x

Symptom:
XQM won't start because libwx_gtkd-2.4.so complains about missing libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

Solution:
Download libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.83mdk.i586.rpm from http://rpmfind.net

Then do
rpm --install libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.83mdk.i586.rpm
