Particularly the ~/News/agent/lib directory is missing. So any attemp to write to the "categories" file fails because their is no such file or `lib' directory. Althougth running 0.66, I've seen this happen in several versions. No problem to make the directory, but I wonder what might be wrong to cause this. What directorys should show up the first few times gnus is run? What files should be in ~/News/agent/? What should the structure look like when using only default settings? ~/News/"then what?" Knowing what is supposed to be there might help analyze what is going wrong. -- Harry Putnam Running Redhat Linux 5.1
