gEDA-user: installing geda-bundle on a Mac OS X 10.5.7

2009-05-20 Thread Peter Gregson

   I am having considerable difficulty installing geda-bundle on my
   MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.7.  I tried fink; it appeared to work
   after much messing about caused by my version of fink not updating the
   table when it says that it has.   I have tried using Fink and
   FinkCommander, without success.  Then I tried downloading from the
   sources download page and running make.  That showed me that I needed
   guile.  After hours scanning the web, I found a forum where someone
   had a similar problem and suggested installing gmp and guile from
   [1]http://rudix.org.  I did that and the compile went further but
   aborted with some _scm_x symbols undefined.  I gave up in
   frustration.

   Trying again tonight, I booted the computer and this time
   FinkCommander told me that geda-bundle was not installed.  I tried
   again to use FinkCommander to load the geda-bundle binary.  This time,
   it appeared to load properly as shown below.

   Selecting previously deselected package geda-gschem.
   Unpacking geda-gschem (from
   .../geda-gschem_1%3a1.2.1-10_darwin-i386.deb) ...
   Selecting previously deselected package geda-gsymcheck.
   Unpacking geda-gsymcheck (from
   .../geda-gsymcheck_1%3a1.2.1-11_darwin-i386.deb) ...
   Selecting previously deselected package geda-bundle.
   Unpacking geda-bundle (from
   .../geda-bundle_1%3a1.2.1-10_darwin-i386.deb) ...

   Setting up geda-gschem (1.2.1-10) ...
   Setting up geda-gsymcheck (1.2.1-11) ...
   Setting up geda-bundle (1.2.1-10) ...

   Now, when I try to run gschem, I get:

   Failed to load default component libraries.
   Pango-ERROR **: file pango-layout.c: line 3189
   (pango_layout_check_lines): assertion failed: (!layout-log_attrs)
   aborting...
   Abort trap
   How do I solve this?
   I am a reasonably intelligent circuit and embedded systems designer.
   I want to use the tools, not have to debug them.  Can someone help me,
   please?

If you have the debris from a source install still hanging around,  
you'll often have problems. Be sure you remove them.
