Re: Fedora 9 and fop

2008-10-07 Thread Roland Neilands

Ulrich,

We found fop 0.20.5 required these fonts on some RH versions, even in 
headless mode:

xorg-x11-deprecated-lib

The fop errors we saw were different, but still misleading.

I don't think java 1.6 was around when that version of FOP was written 
either FWIW.


Regards,
*Roland *

AFAIK the dependency on a graphical environment was due to Batik, so 
the complete rewrite of fop may not have any bearing on this issue.


I am guessing that some X libraries weren't installed, is there any 
information which ones are actually needed?


If that were true then specifying -Djava.awt.headless=true would 
resolve the issue. Its more likely that FOP got stuck in an infinite 
loop due to some complex FO that you gave it.


No, I can disprove that.

Fop works fine on any machine not running Fedora 9. In fact it worked 
fine on Fedora 4 and after doing nothing else but upgrading that 
machine to Fedora 9 it broke.


The only explanation I can think of is the X libraries issue.

This applies to JDK 1.6 and fop 0.20.5, but I guess newer versions as 
well, since they also require X support via Batik, no?


v0.9x is a complete re-write of 0.20.5 so I don't think that is a fair 
assumption. Also since v0.20.5 is 5 years old I strongly recommend that 
you upgrade to v0.95.

If that were true then specifying -Djava.awt.headless=true would resolve 
the issue. Its more likely that FOP got stuck in an infinite loop due to 
some complex FO that you gave it. This type of problem was common with 
the old 0.20.x series. v0.95 is much more stable in this regard.
