There is a fix that works like that IF you can get it to install, but
despite adding its location to an eagle.conf in
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/eagle.conf, and verifying that ldconfig -v finds it, and
my exportation of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the 6.2.0.run thinks about it for 30
seconds, then spits out the error and exits without even making the
eagle-6.2.0 directory.
So I'm still on 6.1.0.
The thing that makes smoke out of my ears is that the eagle folks have
known about this problem for at least a year. The rest of the world moved
on to libpng16 (or simply doesn't use that variation at all, the case with
pclos) 2 or 3 years ago, so whats their (eagles) problem?
I just fired up mc and put the version that was in the /opt/brlcad/lib
directory, with all its links, in /usr/local/lib & ran ldconfig -v|grep
libpng14, to register it, which spit out an nvidia related error along with
[root@coyote eagle]# ldconfig -v|grep libpng14
ldconfig: Path `/usr/lib' given more than once
ldconfig: Cannot stat /usr/lib/libvdpau_trace.so: No such file or directory
libpng14.so.14 -> libpng14.so.14
ldconfig: Cannot stat /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so: No such file or
directory
libpng14.so.14 -> libpng14.so.14.5.0
then the installer ran! Then fixing the script /usr/bin/eagle so it now
runs the 6.2.0 version and the opening screen at least reports itself as
6.2.0. I think I'm in business & we can remove that boot now... :)
The ldconfig errors about those two libs turned out to be links left behind
when I took the nuclear option to the system and did a mass deletion of
*295.20* to get rid of old nvidia trash that was preventing the newer
driver from being installed. Links with no target, mc shows them in red so
I nuked them. NBD.
But Whoopee! eagle-6.2.0 runs!
But I can see that if I try to build the mods I made yesterday, into the
eagle boards, I will need at least another 4 sq cm of board. What I did
yesterday was a cobble job in the finest tradition of the word, I cut a
1/4x1 inch strip of clear plastic from the lid of a hang pack of small
screws and glued it to the top of the board with superglue in a small clear
space on the end opposite the signal cable, then glued 3 ea 1k tiny
trimpots from the shack ($5.37 total) after bending the legs so they stuck
up to make flying terminals, so the adjuster slot faces the front end of
the board as its mounted, so they face the front of the lathe and is easily
adjustable without a screwdriver with offsets or crazy angles. Glued them
on the side with the end terminals to the added plastic for insulation.
Then about 8 pieces of wire wrapping wire to hook it all up, smashed down
on the board to clear the spinning disk, and hot damn it works. And I
can't blow the leds because I left the initial 150 ohms in series with the
pots. My hands are getting a bit shaky with the years though, working
under a 16mm projector lens for a magnifier, making solder joints on about
20 thou centers is testing my skill with an iron. :( I did manage to pull
it off however.
Cheers, Gene
