Package reviewers: New trial packages for pstoedit, linking to the recently uploaded plotutils package, are on my server:
ftp://antiskid.homelinux.net/pub/pstoedit/pstoedit-3.42-1-src.tar.bz2 ftp://antiskid.homelinux.net/pub/pstoedit/pstoedit-3.42-1.tar.bz2 ftp://antiskid.homelinux.net/pub/pstoedit/setup.hint ftp://antiskid.homelinux.net/pub/pstoedit/pstoedit-devel/pstoedit-devel-3.42-1.tar.bz2 ftp://antiskid.homelinux.net/pub/pstoedit/pstoedit-devel/setup.hint There is a problem though: linking to the newly uploaded libEMF package created a broken executable, so this is disabled in the trial packages above. When pstoedit is configured with the flag "--with-emf", it creates the dll file /usr/lib/pstoedit/cygp2edrvwmf-0.dll. This seems to be a problematic dll, which causes pstoedit.exe to fail silently on any invocation. The odd thing is, this remains the case, even if pstoedit is reconfigured "--without-emf" and recompiled and reinstalled, as long as the problematic cygp2edrvwmf-0.dll remains on the system. Early in the development cycle, I did install and link to libEMF, successfully, using a local build of libEMF. So I don't know what the problem is now, except it obviously isn't working with the newly uploaded libEMF package. If someone [Dr. Zell?] could help me figure out what the issue is and fix it quickly, I'd appreciate the help. Otherwise I recommend we upload this trial packaging (assuming it otherwise passes inspection), and use the available functionality while I try to troubleshoot the libEMF problem. Thanks, jrp
