Hi Jim,

Is it only the Engadget feed? Can you try some others?

I can reproduce the Engadget problem on my N800. It's a strange problem, since it works fine on my desktop (identical Nibbles code).

It's expected that the initial feed (Mark's Maemo posts) is empty, since there haven't been any posts in the last 5 days (default configuration setting).

Now, I first thought my issue was dependencies. My app-manager says I did not have ruby1.8-libxml and sqlite3 installer (I currently have sqlite installed). I installed ruby1.8-libxml, but I could not install sqlite3 since libsqlite3-0 is nowhere to be found. Mind you, none of these were requested by the Nibble debian installer anyways.
You shouldn't need ruby1.8-libxml. It sounds to me like the installer got all of your dependencies right (I doubt you'd get as far as you have without them).

The "Address family not supported: seems to be a common error due to ip6 stuff and is not an issue:
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/652.html

I'm not sure if the rest of the lines are errors or just standard logs. I know quite a few languages, but I've never had a reason to dig into Ruby (just a tad of Python is all).
The other lines are the backtrace from the "Address family not supported exception". I'll look into that bug, it's not immediately obvious what's wrong.

Anyhow, I'd LOVE to get Nibbles running, so any suggestions would be excellent. Thanks for any help!
Good luck (let me know if you have any luck with other feeds),

Mark
