Comment 1 Jon Hood (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-01 14:15:43 UTC
This is a known bug that is being worked on. Biblestudy is still useable, even though those warnings are annoying.

# ebuild biblestudy-1.0.ebuild postinst
 *
 * You do not have unicode support enabled. This means that wxWindows
 * was probably not built with unicode support. This can cause some
 * warnings in biblestudy, though the software is still useable.

Comment 2 James Porter 2004-07-01 20:59:04 UTC
So how can I use it? I never see any Bible text? How do I get around it or how do I build wxwindows with unicode?
Comment 3 Jon Hood (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-01 21:47:15 UTC
app-text/sword-modules should have been installed with this package. You should have a menu on the left side with a folder named "Bible texts" or something like that. If that is not showing up, then you have encountered a different unknown bug.
Comment 4 James Porter 2004-07-01 23:01:40 UTC
yeah, it installed sword-modules...All it would display is the version type, asv or nkjv etc. I just didn't realize how to make a certain verse come up.

The utf thing is really annoying though and should be fixed...is there a way I could compile wxwindows with utf?
Comment 5 Jon Hood (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-02 08:19:39 UTC
The utf thing has been fixed in biblestudy cvs and hopefully a new release will be made soon.

USE="unicode" emerge x11-libs/wxGTK
Comment 6 James Porter 2004-07-02 11:58:34 UTC
ok, thanks for the help/work hopefully soon they will get the new version out, at least people can find the work around now. Have you tried to emerge the kde bible program? it failed on mine..not sure if this is a known bug or not, I will not need to use it though since I don't use kde and I am running the workaround now.
Comment 7 Jon Hood (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-02 12:47:21 UTC
Yes, with the updated compiler, BibleTime and SWORD fail to merge properly :(. This is fixed in the testing branch with cvs snapshots:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge bibletime

I noticed you are on the stable branch. The UTF bug is the main reason biblestudy has not been moved to the stable branch yet. I'm sure if you get on irc.freenode.net and bother lefticus in #sword, he will make a new release of biblestudy just for you :). sword and its frontends are hopefully all on the verge of newer, more stable releases.
Comment 8 James Porter 2004-07-02 13:10:41 UTC
with ~x86 is the only way to get the package since it is masked :) I just havent emerge synced today I did on my other computer and it is 

this is the error message I get now that I tried the use unicode...the program will not even run now!

biblestudy: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2-2.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
