There are two problems with the existing w3m package.
Firstly, gpm is not listed as a dependency. However, if w3m is installed without gpm then one receives the error, upon trying to open a web page with w3m of: w3m: error while loading shared libraries: libgpm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. If one installs gpm w3m will then open. However, one will find the top of the page covered with messages such as ***debug [lib/libow.c(204)]: VC:0 VC: 0mp/isdigit/option/consolename failed Oh, oh, it's an error! possible I die. This problem is fixed if one includes the -no-mouse option when calling w3m. (This bug was up here before, but a search seems to indicate it's no longer here.) Doing a little experimentation indicates that if one removes the --disable-mouse parameter, the problem disappears. I am not a programmer and don't know the cause one way or another, but it seems that leaving out the --disable-mouse option fixes the problem Scott |
