What seems to be the issues with GnomeSword? what is the output that you seem to be having? BTW, if you do have issues, there is a GnomeSword mailing list where you can go to for GnomeSword help. I would love to help you through your issues..... sorry for sounding to deliverance ministry-ish :)

Thanks Pierre.
The following is an extract from an earlier message to this list. Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

Not sure where to cut this quote, but anyway, Mandrake has rpm's too that "just work"...that is unless you're on a 64bit system. For some reason, bibletime doesn't like 64bit at the moment from what I understand so you sort of have to compile it.
I personally don't use the rpm packages (and I wouldn't use the deb's either for the same reason) 'cause I use CVS/SVN for bibletime & sword since I like testing and contributing.
64-bit Mandrake is what I am using. I assumed I could simply install the 32-bit RPMs (although, I didn't try), but wanted to get the 64-bit versions working. In the past (on my old machine) I compiled the tar.gz editions, but I thought it would be a good idea to get the RPMs working.
With a bit of effort I have succeeded with sword and bibletime. But I am finding gnomesword a bit more difficult!
Brian.
