Hello All!

These are posting in  https://sourceforge.net/p/mbsebbs/tickets/2

---------------------------------------------------
===================
The nodelist compiler does not fill in the url field of the node record for
nodes that only support IFC or ITN connections, thus making it impossible for
mbcico to call out to these nodes.

==================

   Please provide examples of each (IFC and ITM) and specifiy the
nodelist.nnn.
   So far as I can see both are NOT related to an url (INA) but cannot spot
possible entries.

   I am also having a problem with MBSE compiling the nodelist.115 from
Fidonet. Every entry is missing the URL so when mbcico tries to call out it
give an error of "No dialmethod available in nodelist". Even are coding it in
mbsetup gives the same error. When I use mbout n f1.n1.z1 it gives this as
it's
output:

===================

 Have you checked the nodelist you are trying to use to ensure it is a
 valid file?

Have you looked at the error.log and debug.log files to see if there are
any messages regarding the compile?

What was the command you used to compile the list?

That will do for starters

===================

   I downloaded the nodelist from www.filegate.net. I'm logged in as the mbse
user and run mbindex with no options. It outputs the following in the
system.log:

   30-Apr-2014 11:29:14 mbindex[5734] MBINDEX v1.0.1
   30-Apr-2014 11:29:14 mbindex[5734] Command line: mbindex
   + 30-Apr-2014 11:29:14 mbindex[5734] Compiling "NODELIST.115" (0)
   + 30-Apr-2014 11:29:14 mbindex[5734] 2694 entries

   30-Apr-2014 11:29:14 mbindex[5734] MBINDEX finished in 0.00s

   Nothing shows up in the error.log and debug.log. When I compiled mbsebbs I
used ./configure with no options and this was the output:

   -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Configuration Complete =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

   Configuration summary :

   Version : ..................... 1.0.1

   Installation directories :

   Did the make then make install as root.

   In debug and I have the first two settings on for all log options in
utils,
mbse mailer etc, I show in the debug file:

   ----------------------------:
   30-Apr-2014 18:56:32 mbindex[21448] MBINDEX v1.0.2
   30-Apr-2014 18:56:32 mbindex[21448] Command line: mbindex

   30-Apr-2014 18:56:32 mbindex[21448] MBINDEX finished in 0.00s
   ------------------------------

   Ignoring the pointlst stuff as no entries I and one node less.
   In the terminal box running the mbindex command I get:

   MBINDEX: MBSE BBS 1.0.2 Nodelist Index Compiler
   Copyright (C) 1997-2014 Michiel Broek, All Rights Reserved

   Zone 4 Region 90 Net 904 Node 13 Point 0 2693 entries
   0 entries
   MBINDEX finished in 0.00s

   Now run mbout n for my address :

   -bash-4.2$ mbout n f1.n250.z2

   URL : binkp://applewoodbbs.dtdns.net:24554

   This is the important one do you get the same results?
   Now I tried mbout n f1.n1.z1 but the last line shows up:

   Now if you do not see my URL its a Huston we have a problem time so:

   First need to check that the ./configure;make did not produce any errors
and any warnings are non important.

   so do:

   make clean
   ./configure

   Check the output in full for any warnings/errors or other msgs that say it
cannot find libraries. If not then do:

   make > build.log 2>build.err

   now check the contents of build.err and see if there are any errors
reported and check for any warning that are related to mbindex.

   Let me know.

=================


   Thanks for the instructions. Quite a few warnings while building. No
errors
that stopped it from completing. The only one that I see that might be a
problem is with nodelist.c. I've attache the entire build.err file for
reference.

[[ Attached file shows the 'normal' warnings when compiling with a current gcc
compiler ]]

================
   less than 1 minute ago

Got your file. No, there is no difference in warnings than for my own build on
that version 1.1.1 (I run 1.1.2 and the only difference from 1.1.1 is that
mbse
will install to /home instead of /opt.

As I run multi boot configs and to aid any distro upgrades I have a separate
partition for /home and this way I do not have to rebuild mbse every time I
upgrade.
Of course you in theory just pass a param to configure to do the same but ...

Now back to cases please advise exactly what distro & version you are running?

Confirm that you have installed ALL of the suggested extra libraries including
the -Dev ones.

At the moment I am clutching a straws a bit, so please send me your email
address to vbcoen at gmail and I will send you a copy of nodelist.z55 (155)
that I use, for you to try against mbindex. I want to rule out any problems
with the US version of the nodelist as I am NOT having the same problems
although for f1.n1.z1 it is the same (see later). Make sure that the address
you use is one that accepts file attachments.

I will also start adding these posts to the fidonet echo mbse to see if anyone
else has any clues, which is really where they should go.

I am also 'assuming' that Andrew the original poster for this problem is also
using a US origin nodelist.

Also could you do a mbout n f1.n250.z2 and see if you get this and yes that's
me):

   -bash-4.2$ mbout n f1.n250.z2

Why, well two reasons, the 1st is that the nodelist layout has changed in that
it now allows '-unpublished-' to be present without pvt at the start - that
could be upsetting mbindex and even the golded version so will need to check
that !!

2nd it is another bug not related but still in mbindex but I want to rule out
any differences between the USA version of the nodelist eg Zone 1 and that
from
Europe eg Zone 2.

I don't think this is the case just want to rule it out of the equation.

The above test will also rule out (or in) to some extent the original posted
issue but I am beginning to think it is the same problem because of the
change.

Why no-one else is reporting it is somewhat amassing or should it be, I mean
how often do sysops need to run mbout n unless their message editor is not
giving correct address info when creating a msg from scratch as against
replying to one!

---------------------------------------------------


Any one else seeing this?

As I said above on thinking about it, it could be because of the nodelist
changes that have taken place of the last few months regarding pvt pre-flag
and
the '-Unpublished-' entry in place of '000-000-0000' type contact number field
within the nodelist.

If you are suffering from this have you checked (if used) the golded index
linking tool, does that have the same issues?
