Re: Non gnome environment

Thanks!

I do not know which gnome libraries are being used - or should be used. 
It would be helpful to know which ones, so that I could verify.
I'm running Pyb 1.2.9 on Debian, using the Debian package.

The fact remains that when I try to load a URL from the pybliographic
interface, I get an error.

"Cannot open URL:
There was an error launching the default action command associated with 
this location."

I have set the application for text/html to /usr/bin/firefox in the 
Resource dialogue.

My understanding was that the error was because pyb could not find the 
gnome environment - libraries? - rather than because of an error 
launching firefox itself. Is there a way to better diagnose this?

Thanks for your time.
