Bugzilla Bug 89449

the fonts in the wrong path

It seems that the temporary building path is wongly inherited during the
building process...

Reproducible: Always

1.hit the plot entry in the msc menu

Actual Results:  
freezes with tis warnings:

 Warning:  Unable to open font file  
/var/tmp/portage/chipmunksystem-20031105-r2/work/lib/plot.font
 Press return to continue.

 Warning:  Font 2 was not found!
 Press return to continue.


Expected Results:  
Some plotting ;-)

"plotting entry in the misc menu"

sorry for the typos.

ah, it hangs only if there is something to plot: that is, it does'nt complain if the circuit is blank

Confirmed. Thanks for reporting. I'll try to fix it some time soon. 

Created an attachment (id=68786) [edit]
patch for chipmunksystem-20031105-r2.ebuild

This patch for the ebuild fixes the plot.font path issue.
Additionally, it fixes the paths to some *.ps files that are needed
as well.

Patched ebuild (r3) is now in CVS. Thanks for your work, Markus.
