I’d like to have an OPML editor, instead of just using an aggregator to organize my feeds. if I had one that worked I’d be happy, but alas I can’t find one for gentoo linux.???

I decided to give Dave Winer’s OPML Editor a try. Yea, it’s only for Mac and Windows, but isn’t that why someone made Wine?
Using the latest Cedega from the other week released July 18th, 2006.
It loads up fine. I even managed to open my bloglines export outline. But just now out of nowhere the mouse does not work right. So I killed the process. I made two more attempts to do stuff, and failed.
Now just a couple more packages left, and compiling the Gentoo unstable version of Wine will be ready to try…
Still compiling…
Finished compiling, about 45 minutes later. I ran the OPML Editor in Wine, and it blew up at me after it said I needed gecko, which I do not currently have installed. Now to hook that up, and maybe I will be on my way! :) More in a bit.
The gecko SDK finished, and now I ran wine again with the opml.exe. Figured out that just compliling the SDK on here, wasn’t the same as what it wanted, so I let it download the SDK itself. No more gecko error, but now even moving the mouse, or clicking anything in the OPML editor just crashes the Wine.
Back to using Cedega as this seems to be the only way for me to run the OPML Editor without instantly crashing. I’m able to use some of the functions, but it seems to just eventually consume the processor with a leak or some issue.
