[Fink-devel] testing needed
Hello. Please help me quickly test some new versions of the following packages: pdflib, gnuplot, grace. The new versions are all in the unstable tree. It would be particularly useful to know that gnuplot-py, octave, and siag work correctly with the new version of gnuplot. The change which was made was to only build static libraries for pdflib, and compile those into the other programs. This was done for licensing reasons, to enable us to distribute gnuplot and grace with our binary distribution. With this change, if I can get it pushed into stable quickly, we'll be in the following happy situation: every package which is in the binary distribution only depends on packages which are *also* in the binary distribution. No more user complaints that octave or pdftex can't be installed because of some silly missing thing from the bindist. Some of our Restrictive/Distributable packages will still have Build dependencies which can't be distributed, but they'll have no actual dependencies. When the rush of getting the bindist out is over, I'll be proposing this as a policy to be followed in the future, for all of our packages: if you package depends on a Restrictive pacakge, then your package mujst also be labelled as Restrictive. But let's not debate that now! Please, instead, help me test these few and let me know your results.

Please tell me this is an April fool's joke ;-) The new pdflib-shlibs package has a circular symlink libpdf.1.dylib-libpdf.1.dylib which makes anything depending on libpdf crash (Too many levels of symbolic links). The new gnuplot doesn't build a pdf terminal any more. This could have been achieved easier without change to the pdflib package, but I suppose it is not intentional? The first instance of the new gnuplot I compiled failed with gnuplot Expected X11 driver: /sw/src/root-gnuplot-3.8i.0-3/sw/lib/gnuplot/3.8i/gnuplot_x11 Exec failed: No such file or directory In fact, it had the path /sw/src/root-gnuplot-3.8i.0-3/sw/lib/gnuplot/3.8i/gnuplot_x11 hardcoded into the /sw/bin/gnuplotx executable. I cannot reproduce this any more, because I rebuilt it and then this error disappeared. Weird. Otherwise, octave and siag seem to work OK with the new gnuplot (except for pdf output, of course). -- Martin --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!

Re: [Fink-devel] testing needed
With your latest gnuplot, I got: ... Enable generation of PDF files ... So it *seems* PDF support is built properly now. Also the bogus pdflib.dylib symlink is not present.

Re: [Fink-devel] testing needed
OK, after seeing others' posts, I ignored the checksum error and proceeded, but on the first time around I got a seg fault while building apt. On a second try, it compiled fine. So I think it was a random glitch but am posting these results anyways in case they mean more to someone else... Latest OS X and dev tools, G4-400 with 512MB RAM, everything else working fine.

Re: [Fink-devel] testing needed
OK, sorry about the sloppy specification of my software versions. OS 10.2.2 plus July + August dev tools and the Oct patch. I am well aware of the August-only install problem, but it is not the case here. I'm compiling other software all the time and it has all been working well. For that matter, fink seems to be working fine now too. Had the one compile error and no trouble since. It just updated itself to 0.11.1-10 without trouble, and the apt tools seem fine too. And there's nothing related in /usr/local - just two local apps I've added, neither of which has anything to do with the build environment (nor conflicting names). So... probably random glitch On Sat, 7 Dec 2002, Ben Hines wrote: Define latest dev tools. Such problems are usually caused by the user installing the August tool update (small update app) on top of the 10.1 tools which is a big no-no. Install the JULY (jaguar) dev tools, then the updates after that. Another cause for such problems are bad things in /usr/local. Move /usr/local out of the way if you have anything there. -Ben --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

I forgot to add that apt-0.5.4-7 seemed to build fine. On Fri, 2002-12-06 at 14:51, David R. Morrison wrote: Hi all.
