Dear Matthew, further to my last email I have down loaded the latest demo
version of ProCAD from
http://www.dsnell.zynet.co.uk/CADdemo.html
and this exhibits the same fault. e.g. if you draw say a single line.
Then with it unselected try and select it again with a single click over
the item, it is not selectable in RPCemu, but works fine on A5000, RPC.
ProCAD is quite fast and i wonder if the selection routine is different to
normal systems. However, selecting with dragging a square works fine.
I will continue to investigate, but any thoughts welcome
Regards
Peter

Dear Matthew,
Thanks for this, I have now forced the 4.2.2 versions in and rpcemu,
now compiles. It may be just me, but it feels significantly quicker, great!
However, I still have the problem with ProCAD not being able to select
individual objects. I have now tested it on the old .7 system and the new
.8.8 both Linux and Windows flavour. Any thoughts very welcome
Regards
Peter
I have just tried to compile 0.8.8 and get the following errors,
rpcemu-rpcemu.o: In function `loadconfig': rpcemu.c:(.text+0x7a1):
undefined reference to `list_config_entries' rpcemu.c:(.text+0x7f3):

This seems to be involved with liballegro. I have installed the latest
debs from squeeze, e.g.
Setting up x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev (2.3-2) ...
Setting up libxxf86vm-dev (1:1.1.0-2) ...
Setting up liballegro4.2-dev (2:4.2.0-5) ..
The functions list_config_entries() and free_config_entries() were
added to Allegro in version 4.2.1, but the RPCEmu configure script is
not that precise and only checks for Allegro 4.2.
I have found out just now that these functions were added in 4.2.1 by
looking through their source repository - the Allegro documentation
implies they were available in 4.2
Your comments above show that you installed Allegro 4.2.0 so you do
not have a new enough version. However the following page suggests
that Debian Squeeze should have Allegro 4.2.2:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/liballegro4.2-dev
Do you know why the version you have installed does not match the
version referred to in the web page above? I do not know enough about
Debian, but perhaps you are installing packages from an earlier
repository?
For now I will look into making the configure check for RPCEmu more
precise, and then in the future a clearer error message will be
produced.
Matthew
