Hi Ed, thanks for testing for the problem.
It may help for me to be more specific.
I am experiencing this problem on Slackware Linux 12.0, on two different
machines. I see it both on the distribution binary and when I build it
from source. I have seen it on every version of fldigi going back a year
or more. It seems especially curious that while most don't see the
problem, the original poster saw what seems to me to be the same problem
on Windows.
It doesn't matter whether I configure it for "QRZ online via default
Internet Browser" or "Paid online subscription". It also doesn't matter
which method I use to invoke the lookup: "right click menu->Look up
call" or enter the call manually and press the QRZ button. It doesn't
matter which order I use those methods. The very first time I do this,
nothing happens. If I'm configured for the subscription, I see "Request
sent to qrz.com..." With it set for web lookup nothing happens on my
browser. If the browser is not running it won't be started. In any case
it will stay in that state forever although fldigi continues to operate
normally. On all subsequent lookup attempts, whichever method I use, it
works fine.
Using Wireshark I have verified that on the first attempt nothing is
sent out to QRZ.com. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say it may be
related to some library version, or possibly the kernel version
(2.6.21.5-smp) since that is something that could be different on my
setup. This isn't a major issue, but it bugs me every time :-)
Fwiw, I've included the output from ldd on fldigi Ver 3.13AD below.
