Generally Gminer works fine when launched via Awesome Miner and I'm not able to reproduce this.
Is it only with the most recent Gminer 1.73 you run into this problem or with earlier versions as well?
I tried all the versions there were to choose from inside Awesome Miner, all of them gave the save error
The latest update of Awesome Miner fixed the issue. GMiner works fine now
Thanks for letting me know and great that it's working better now. There are however no changes in the last Awesome Miner release that could affect Gminer, so it must have started to work for some other reason.
I've also pushed Gminer 1.74 - you can access it via Update Mining Software Definitions in the menu.
