I just uploaded giftui 0.2.0 in Incoming, in my opinion it runs better and appears to have more/better features than giftoxic. It uses GTK2 as well for its frontend purposes.

After i start the gift daemon and try running giftui i get this message "giftui: error while loading shared libraries: libgift.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

How did you fix that?

I just did some stuff and now I ran into the problem now. I was using a CVS version of gift and apparently that works just fine with it, but the actual gift from pacman isn't working. Now to track this down and hopefully find a fix.

I bet recompiling giftui with the gift released version (the one from pacman) will fix the problem... but hey... I'm just guessing here.

It is a bit more than that. I did that at first(installing the stable gift from pacman) and I would get his message. Then I made my own version of the gift package(from the latest stable version) and giftui loads just fine. When I tried to use the stable gnutella version from pacman, I ran into a wacky bug that would spout out the following error when running giftd:

*** GIFT-FATAL: couldn't load protocol in file /usr/lib/giFT/libGnutella.la: libgift.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
*** Often times more information can be found in the log file or with the -v command line switch.

So I made my own gnutella package and it fixed that bug and giftd loaded just fine. So it is a problem with the gift package in pacman and not my package itself it would appear.

Basically to just have a working package, I took out all the junk that could mess something up, so these are basically barebones versions of the PKGBUILDs and seem to work on my system:

gift PKGBUILD:

pkgname=gift
pkgver=0.11.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="giFT is a bridge between P2P protocols and front-ends."
depends=('automake' 'autoconf' 'libtool' 'libogg' 'libvorbis')
source=(http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gift/gift-0.11.4.tar.bz2)
install=gift.install
url="http://gift.sourceforge.net/"
                                                                                
build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
 ./configure --prefix=/usr
   make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

gift-gnutella PKGBUILD:

pkgname=gift-gnutella
pkgver=0.0.5
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="GiFT's Gnutella plugin"
depends=('gift' 'zlib')
source=(http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/gift/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
url="http://gift.sourceforge.net/"
                                                                                
build() {
    cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

If any of you guys/gals could test this out and see if this works for you as well, it looks like we may have to fill out a bug report.
