5 years ago Thank you for reporting.
As you can see wyebab just uses g_get_user_config_dir and g_get_system_data_dirs. The your solution is in the g_get_system_data_dirs.
So what does g_get_user_config_dir return on your env? Have you changed the XDG_CONFIG_HOME of env values?

5 years ago Ah it turns out it was a typo: I changed XGD_CONFIG_HOME instead of XDG_CONFIG_HOME. The default value of XDG_CONFIG_HOME contained a tilde ~ which wasn't getting expanded, and it seemed that g_get_system_data_dirs() returned a directory relative to the current one (ie ./~/.config). Everything seems to work now.
For reference, I'm calling export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="" in a wrapper script and that seems to work. Thanks very much for helping sort this out. I think this was a mistake on my end. I'll close this.
Hi, first of all thank you for making and sharing this great tool! I believe I found a small issue where the easylist.txt file does not get read properly.
My installation:
What I see: Testing on http://simple-adblock.com/faq/testing-your-adblocker/ both indicate "not working" with both vimb and surf.
The "solution": I copied ~/.config/wyebadblock/easylist.txt to /usr/local/share/wyebadblock/easylist.txt This seems to fix the problem, and now when I load the test page, I see "Tested OK"
I guess that something is going wrong with the g_get_user_config_dir(), but I haven't looked too deep. I may also have made a mistake. Again, thanks for sharing this! I hope this submission is helpful.
