[Gnumed-devel] gnumed not finding local db caused by not using correct config file

[Florian Hubold]

Hello,

when using gnumed on mandriva it does not find the local
database, which is setup correctly. Gnumed is started either via menu 
entry or
in a terminal with "gnumed". After contacting Paul Grinberg it turned out
gnumed needs to be explicitly called with

   gnumed --conf-file=/etc/gnumed/gnumed-client.conf
     

then it works as expected. As i understood gnumed parses some paths in 
search
for valid configuration files, why doesn't it use the one in /etc? 
Shouldn't this be the first to try, as it is available system-wide and 
the default path for such things?

If not, the desktop file for gnumed should be changed to call gnumed 
this way,
if it doesn't find the file it should start normally then.

Regards

Florian Hubold
