I am running jpilot and pilot-link on two F8 machines, an i386 desktop and an x86_64 laptop. I can synchronize my Palm TX fine on both machines, using the libusb method. But on the laptop, jpilot can't open the private records--it asks for the PalmOS password, but never accepts it. I had first encountered this problem in June with FC7 and asked on the jpilot list but never got a response, and reading the private records on the laptop wasn't critical for me so I let it go. I asked again when the problem arose again with F8 and got a response from Ludovic Rousseau, who pointed me to the following bug he had recently filed at pilot-link.org: http://bugs.pilot-link.org/1858 He says that the problem is due to a 64-bit bug in pilot-link, where pi-md5.h has #define UINT32 unsigned long which is incorrect on 64-bit systems, and that this prevents jpilot from computing the right hash to view private records. He recommends changing this to #define UINT32 unsigned int though he notes that this will work on 32- and 64-bit systems but fail on 16-bit ones. I rebuilt the pilot-link and jpilot srpms with this change in the pilot-link source and jpilot can now read private records on my laptop. Should I report this on the Fedora bugzilla, since it's already filed upstream? (And if I should, should I report it against jpilot, which is where I'm seeing the behavior, or pilot-link, where it really seems to live? Or doesn't that matter?) George
