Re: [Bug 1730207] guile-2.0.13 included in package produce meep run-time erros

2018-08-09 Thread John Weiner
Thanks for this Chris…I would guess that it means that the meep binary
package that one installs with the apt package manager on Ubuntu should
just work with no fuss, no bother.  Then the latest improvements can
always be updated via “git clone” on the git repository.

Best regards,

John

[Bug 1730207] [NEW] guile-2.0.13 included in package produce meep run-time erros

2017-11-05 Thread John Weiner
Public bug reported:

I am running Ubuntu 17.04 on an amd64 pc box.  Using sudo apt-get
install the meep package installs and produces a working binary, but at
meep run time an error is produced, and the program stops. The package
apparently always includes the latest guile-2.0 version, the latest
being guile-2.0.13. If meep and dependencies are compiled from sources,
using guile-2.0.11, an error-free meep binary is produced. According to
meep maintainers (see meep-discuss email archive, "Installation
instructions for meep on Ubuntu 16.04" by Ardavan Oskooi) the problem
can be traced to SWIG.  Until the problem with SWIG can be fixed, I
suggest replacing guile-2.0.13 with guile-2.0.11 in the Ubuntu meep
package.
