I recently installed Crypt::SSLeay and had a strange result: any script that uses that module would get a Segmentation Fault when it hit a certain point. I found another person complaining about this and the suggestion was downgrading OpenSSL. I did that, and it didn;t work. I upgraded to 0.9.8b and that didnt work.

Finally, I converted the .deb file for openssl to a tarball (using alien) and extracted it into a subdirectory in my personal home dir. I then re-installed Crypt::SSLeay and pointed it to my subdir to link against for OpenSSL. No more seg faults!

I was getting REALLY tired of having JPilot work only 10% of the time with the USB cables I had. I grabbed my P.O.S. USB bluetooth adapter and installed it. Then I realized I had no idea whatsoever how to proceed. Luckily I found

Explicit, step-by-step instructions. I am now syncing more more reliably (albeit slower).

Check out that page (and donate to the author — he deserves it!) if you have a Palm you want to sync over Bluetooth
