Summary: Config file behaviour wrong
Category: None
Group: None
Resolution: None
Initial Comment:
Upgrading from 2.3 to 2.4 on Opensuse11.0 I find:
Prompts for minicom -s (OK minirc was in /etc - now wants to be in /usr/local/etc - although the man page still states /etc) but when invoked by root with -s still gives error of missing minrc.dfl, please invoke as root with -s (I copied the file across to get it working).
When calling as normal user with "minicom abcd", does not see the user's .minirc.* files and prompts again for root to create a global "minirc.abcd".
These bugs can be worked around by judicious copy of minrc files.

Message:
Sorry, not used to your web interface, attached the log file otherwise hard to read.
OK Freshly compiled 2.4 from the source tgz
minicom -s (as root) gave:
minicom: there is no global configuration file /usr/local/etc/minirc.dfl Ask your sysadmin to create one (with minicom -s).
so, still as root: strace -o /tmp/log minicom -s minicom:
there is no global configuration file /usr/local/etc/minirc.dfl Ask your sysadmin to create one (with minicom -s).

Could you please describe the problem in more detail? I cannot identify any issue when trying it out myself. Best would be if you could prefix your minicom call with strace -o /tmp/log and make the log file available. Thanks.

Message:
Accepted that compiling from source (I did) gives different paths from the Distro version but that doesn't explain why root could not create a first minirc, neither why users ~/.minirc* was ignored ??

Message:
When minicom looks into the wrong config directory this sound like a packaging issue. configure should be called with --sysconfdir=/etc/minicom (or --sysconfdir=/etc to have everything in /etc directory but that's not recommended). /usr/local/etc is the default when nothing is chosen and minicom is installed to /usr/local.
