EMBOSS programs using the plplot library (such as prettyplot and dottup) terminate with an error message (see below) when trying to produce X11 graphs. This is due to a misconfiguration of the PLPLOT_LIB environment variable, which sould be set to "/usr/share/EMBOSS" (this is where the font files are) rather than "/usr/share/EMBOSS/plplot/lib", (which does not even exist). This change should go in Portage file : app-sci/emboss/files/22emboss, which is copied to /etc/env.d/ during EMBOSS installation. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: $ prettyplot asis::ACTGACTGCTAGCATCGACAT Actual Results: Program aborted (see error message below) Expected Results: Find the font files in /usr/share/EMBOSS and draw the X11 graph. Error message from prettyplot output : PLPLOT_LIB="/usr/share/EMBOSS/plplot/lib" Cannot open library file: plstnd5.fnt Please set PLPLOT_LIB to the plplot/lib directory under emboss *** PLPLOT ERROR *** Unable to open font file Program aborted
Thanks for the hint. Fixed in -r2
