URLRequest Error: 6

I am running the latest build available (SecondLife_i686_1_17_2_0) on OpenSuSe 10.2 and I cannot connect to second life. It launches fine but when I enter my credentials, I end up with the following errors:

These are only the last few lines I grabbed from the shell I launched SL from.. if more info is required, I am happy to provide.


On the GUI, it pops up a window saying :

Unable to connect to second life

I can access the site fine and below is the ping results:

Here's your problem. The client tries to connect to the URI "inventory-skeleton", instead of http://login.agni.....

Please take a look in the file grid-data (or something simular) and change the URI to something usable (BTW, I'm not at my home-desktop so I can't check what it should be, could anybody else post the correct contents of the file grid-data here?)

Regards,
Marcoh

Thanks Marcoh, I gave up using the compiled binaries provided by SL and use the packaged RPMs available from Suse's Build Farm as described in this thread: /263/72/194569/1.html

cheers,

For a main-grid viewer, the gridargs.dat file should simply contain nothing.
