Hi, apologies if this is the wrong place, but the BlueZ site says to
come here for help.
Anyway, I have Fedora 9 x86-64 and I have BlueZ version 0.26 running
as per the OS install. (I didn't know it was installed, but I just
plugged in a BT usb dongle and it was detected immediately)
I have tried to pair with my Motorola HT820 headphones, and it seems
to detect the device fine, and accepts the passcode.
I can browse the device list ok, however, if I click Connect I get an error :
Couldn't display "obex://[00:07:A4:B7:B6:7F]/".
Error: Host down
Please select another viewer and try again.
Thinking that this is an issue with obex I have tried to install the
latest version of obexd (0.3).
When running configure I get the error :

configure: error: libopenobex is required
So I have located and downloaded openobex-1.3-13.fc9.x86_64.rpm to try
and rectify the apparent lack of libopenobex.
Unfortunately, when I try to install the rpm I get :
file /usr/lib64/libopenobex.so.1.3.0 from install of
openobex-1.3-13.fc9.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
openobex-1.3-11.fc9.x86_64
So I must assume it is already available, but obexd can't find it.
I have also installed the gnome-bluetooth-devel package provided by
FC9 but to no avail.
In the Bluetooth preferences window, my device is shown as connected,
but in the Browse device window, it is shown as not connected.
I have also set it to be a trusted device.
How can I resolve this ?
I have SE Linux turned off, but do I need to change firewall settings ?
Is this possibly an issue with the headphones themselves ?
Is this an x86 versus x86-64 library issue ?
Thanks in advance.
