Bug 13879 – nedit-5.3-r1 is unstable

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-13 18:06:06 UTC]

If you open an existing file with "nedit filename", open another with Ctl-O and
then close that one again with Ctl-W, nedit terminates with message:

Error: XtPopdown requires a subclass of shellWidgetClass

[Comment 1 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-13 18:10:06 UTC]

Small remark: It seems, that this only happens if you used the find function
Ctl-F in the second window.

[Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-01-14 00:26:55 UTC]

do you have openmotif or lesstif?

[Comment 3 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-01-14 17:57:10 UTC]

Klaus?

[Comment 4 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-14 18:42:56 UTC]

Sorry for the delay. nedit is statically linked with *tif and it appears that
(since both lesstif and openmotif are installed), it appears to have taken
openmotif.

$ strings `which nedit` |grep -i motif
@(#)Motif Version 2.2.2

[Comment 5 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-01-16 07:47:18 UTC]

does this bug still show up, if you remove openmotif and let it attach itself to
lesstif?

[Comment 6 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-16 10:31:02 UTC]

As I said, nedit is statically linked. Its ebuild file says it requires
openmotif. Simply hiding away openmotif and recompiling gives a long list of errors:

XmFontListCreate() is an obsolete function!

Cannot find callback list in XtAddCallback
Cannot find callback list in XtAddCallback
...

[Comment 7 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-16 10:40:02 UTC]

Sorry, I forgot to say: recompiling works, running nedit gives these error
messages above.

[Comment 8 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-01-19 20:09:37 UTC]

please try -r2 and report?

[Comment 9 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-19 23:17:01 UTC]

Sorry, same effect with -r2.

With nedit-5.3-r2:

I suspect that nedit-5.2-r2 DEPENDS on virtual/x11. Otherwise if we don't have X
installed, then it isn't going to find: -I/usr/X11R6/include/Xm. 

[Comment 11 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-01-27 01:21:35 UTC]

it's actually a lack of listing of openmotif or lesstif in the DEPENDS list. 
Sorry for that :(

[Comment 12 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-27 21:34:29 UTC]

Sure we all talk about the same bug?

[Comment 13 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-28 01:08:03 UTC]

I have done a test. Sorry, my bug is still there. ("emerge openmotif nedit"
didn't change the situation.)

Is anybody being able to reproduce it?

[Comment 14 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-01-28 02:26:18 UTC]

nebuchadnezzar gnome-extra # qpkg -f /usr/X11R6/include/Xm/Xm.h 
x11-libs/openmotif *


so I do not understand why you have this error...

[Comment 15 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-01-28 02:29:17 UTC]

raker, this bug's yours, baby

[Comment 16 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-01-28 02:32:09 UTC]

My bug's described in comments 0 to 1. I really have no problems with a missing
header file; everything builds perfectly. It only refuses to run in a stable
manner ,-)

[Comment 17 Jason Shoemaker (RETIRED) 2003-01-28 02:43:29 UTC]

And I was commenting on comment #8 to report on -r2. Just a little confusion. :)

[Comment 18 Nick Hadaway 2003-02-13 05:46:09 UTC]

nedit-5.4_pre20030213 will be added to portage soon.  I am waiting for the gentoo mirrors to catch the source file first.   I'll post here when it is available.

[Comment 19 Nick Hadaway 2003-02-15 13:23:27 UTC]

The ebuild is now in portage.  Please test.

[Comment 20 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-04-12 00:37:30 UTC]

FYI, nedit-5.3 with open-motif-2.2.2_1 under FreeBSD (native) doesn't show this bug.

Have you been able to reproduce my original bug?

Sorry, at the moment I have no computer still running with Gentoo, so don't wait for my report.
