Trying to find a faster way to mount the Samba share on my NAS drive than Pnethood, I installed
lameSMBxplorer-0.2.2b.pet
Then ran from Rox Terminal:
lameSMBqmount <servername> <sharename>
it gave the error:
Dependency: gtkdialog-0.7.20 required
Used the Puppy dependency checker but it found no problems with lameSMBxplorer
So I tried other versions:
lameSMBxplorer-0.2.1b.pet
lameSMBxplorer-0.1.8b.pet
They all gave the same error
So I installed
gtkdialog3-0.7.20-patched2-pup2.pet
Still no joy running lameSMBqmount but now I get the error:
gtkdialog3: symbol lookup error: gtkdialog3: undefined symbol: zcfree
When I run Pnethood
I presume the gtkdialog install broke the Pnethood UI. Unfortunately it also broke the UI for the Puppy package installer so I can't de-install anything.
To recover the mess, I copied the Puppy master files back to my hard drive from the live CD and reinstalled the pets I need, so all's well except Pnethood still takes ages to probe my NAS drive.
Anyone thoughts?

lameSMBxplorer Problems (on puppy-4.1.2-k2.6.25.16-se
IIRC, LameSMBxplorer was built with a special version of gtkdialog and doesn't work with any of the standard versions.
However, try YASSM. I tested it in Puppy 4.12 and it worked fine after one patch.
1. Go to the folder /usr/local/yassm
2. Open the file samba-login in a text editor.
3. On Line 207, change "mount.cifs" to "mount -t cifs"
YASSM opens my NAS box very quickly. But this can depend on how your network is configured.
