This may go over your head, .... I'm a commandline junky, I'd look at it this way: sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude install strace strace -f -e trace=file -o /tmp/scid $(which scid) do whatever you need to reproduce the problem, but no more One way to examine the output is this: cat /tmp/scid | less After a quick liik, you might want to prune some junk with grep in this sort of way cat /tmp/scid | egrep -v '/usr|ld.s' | less You might need to consult the man page for strace While researching for this reply, I got to here: cat /tmp/scid | egrep -v '/usr|ld.s|icons|etc/fonts|var/cache|"/li' \ | grep open You could trace just the open call, but some programs try other file-related calls before deciding to try the open, and if, for example, a stat() or access() call fails, they don't attempt to open. And there are other versions of stat() and access(). > -- > > Saludos / Best regards > > Mario Lacunza > Email:: mlacu...@gmail.com > Personal Website:: http://www.lacunza.biz/ > OpenOffice.org:: http://es.openoffice.org/ > OpenOffice.org PerĂº:: http://openoffice-peru.com/ > Hosting:: http://mlv-host.com/ > Mascotas Perdidas:: http://mascotas-perdidas.com/ > Google Talk: mlacunzav Skype: mlacunzav > MSN: mlacun...@hotmail.com Y! messenger: mlacunzav > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second. > Boundary is the first to Know...and Tell You. > Monitor Your Applications in Ultra-Fine Resolution.
