Yeah, you would need an account and I haven't activated Trac account
manager plugin so you can't register yourself. If you want an account,
just ask.

I usually use libical 0.27 but I just tried with libical 0.33 downloaded
from http://packages.debian.org/fr/source/sid/libical and everything
works fine. I get some errors on the console but my appointments are
loaded and displayed.

I'm using the same version of gcc on Ubuntu 8.10 and tried with LANG and
LC_TYPE bg_BG.UTF-8 but it still runs. I just tried a clean startup
(without existing date), still ok :(

Could you build SimpleAgenda, libical and maybe gnustep-base with
debugging symbols and see if you get a better backtrace ?
Or can you tell me how to install the same GNU/kFreeBSD environnement ?
The last install CD seems to be from last february, is that what you're
running ?

Thanks,
Philippe
