Problems you might encounter

Gateway CGI binaries segfault for no obvious reason

If you discover that the gateway CGI binaries segfault for no obvious reason check the locales and character sets accepted/requested by your web browser. I have discovered that the dsgw binaries accompanying at least Fedora DS 1.0.4 are hyper-sensitive to browser locales & character sets and some particular combinations will cause them to crash.

If using Firefox check the following settings in either your profile prefs.js or under :

• intl.accept_languages: “en-US,en,en-CA,en-us,EN-US,EN,es-ES,es,no-NO,no,en-gb,ro-RO,ro,utf-8,utf,de-DE,d”

If the above configuration setting is returned to the default of “en-us, en” then the dsgw binaries function properly.
