Hi Galvin,

OK, it looks like it's having trouble parsing the plugin and classifier
information from the server. Can you please try accessing


http://<server>/gsdl/cgi-bin/gliserver.pl?cmd=get-script-options&script=buildcol.pl&xml=&language=en

in your browser and see what the output is.

All the best,

Michael
