slapt-get

[Archangel-Amael]

I am typing gslapt at the command prompt. Once gslapt comes up and i try to run update it run for a few and then it will crash with the message in the command prompt "gslapt: symbol lookup error: gslapt: undefined symbol: slapt_init_source_list"

This looks like gslapt is not "finding" a source for downloading
so you should look there its the 3rd tab under preferences to see if it has a source if not then add http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/slackware...lackware-12.0/
this to your sources list. It should also be the same in the verification tab too.

The next question have you used the command line version and does it work?
again it looks like

#slapt-get

of course with the --update flag thrown onto it.
Post back if this works or not.
