Ken, Check to see if you have any legacy Evo processes running. How are you shutting it down? Just going to the X in the corner of the window is not recommended, in my experience. Shutting it down using the File->Exit method seems to be the best way. Occasionally, processes will remain open. When this happens to you again, try running 'killev' from the command line. Once it finishes, open Evo again. Should do the trick for you. However, it's not something that you want to do often, as it doesn't do things nicely (I think it uses signal 9, which we all know is a last resort).
Good luck. Regards, Ben Pitzer On Sat, 2002-10-05 at 02:09, Ken Mink wrote: > Hello Everyone, > I am having a strange problem with Evolution under RH8.
