Not quite it yet. After making the changes Laurence suggests, I still get Failed to load auction / Failed to parse auction errors.

It was working just fine until …

Thanks

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / configuration query

EDIT: Problem Solved

Where does jbidwatcher store any configuration info other than in ~/.jbidwatcher?

I’ve been installing/uninstalling stuff and am having “configuration hangover” issues after wiping ~/.jbidwatcher. Notably search/Myebay not being imported into the new running program.

Thanks

Three hours later …

I realized that I had some “buy it now” items in my watch list. After I removed these, jbidwatcher updated normally.

BTW: The gentoo linux ebuild builds against the blackdown jdk version 1.4.xx, regardless of what other javas may be installed.

Thanks

Mine seems to be working with sun-java 1.5.0.11 – but I built my own from Hans’ patch. linux 2.6.20-gentoo patches

I haven’t sniped anything yet, but i can update from either internal searches or My Ebay watching list. I’ve set some snipes – its just a few hours away …

I’m afraid that java 1.6 will break things – I’m waiting for more adventurous gentooers to take the plunge.

Thanks,
Craig

This is gentoo linux:

ETA: so i tried to fix the formatting – this is what I got

Okay, I’m too stupid to figure out how to apply the patch.

ginger ~ # mkdir temp
ginger ~ # cd temp
ginger temp # tar xfz ../jbidwatcher-1.0.1.tar.gz 
tar: A lone zero block at 4564
ginger temp # patch -p0 < ../jbidwatcher-1.0.1.1.patch 
can't find file to patch at input line 2
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

What am I not doing?

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Has ebay broke it? (19 July 07)

... that the file you were looking for really is in the top level directory of the source tarball.

After making the change Hans posted, I can add auctions from the ebay search inside jbidwatcher, but anything added to myebay in the normal manner is not found by jbidwatcher.

Also, auctions previously listed still have the red-eye; but. new auctions don’t

I haven’t had anything come up that I want to snipe yet; however, I made a low bid on something I am watching and the bid went through.

Why is jbidwatcher flagged as a misspelled word?

Topic: JBidwatcher Help / Has ebay broke it? (19 July 07)

I’ve got the jbidwatcher-1.0.1.tar.gz file and I can’t find a ebayServer.java file.

ETA: OK if you actually look in the top directory, you will find …
