Hello All!

   ===================   
   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] 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:

       In debug and I have the first two settings on for all log options in

   mbse mailer etc, I show in the debug file:

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

       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?
