As a side effect of reporting another bug (unrelated to this one) I saw, that some stuff (fonts, stylesheets, dtds) of freewrl are installed under the /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2 subdirectory. But I have perl 5.8.4 installed. Won't this cause any problems when running freewrl? I only installed it a few days ago and haven't yet time to check it out. Only started it once, but without any VRML or X3D file, because I currently don't have a VRML/X3D model lying around. I think those files should be installed under /usr/lib/perl5/<installed-version> Here are the files which I get when running equery belongs /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2: lancelot@gwenhwyfar iconbar $ equery belongs /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2 | sort media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts/Amrigobi.ttf) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts/Amrigob.ttf) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts/Amrigoi.ttf) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts/Amrigon.ttf) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts/Baubodbi.ttf) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts/Baubodi.ttf) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts/Baubodn.ttf) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts/Futurabi.ttf) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts/Futurab.ttf) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts/Futuran.ttf) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/fonts/README) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/datatypes.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/DisJavaVrml-compact.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/DisJavaVrml.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/GeoVrml-compact.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/GeoVrml.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/HumanoidAnimation-compact.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/HumanoidAnimation.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/Nurbs-compact.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/Nurbs-compromise.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/Nurbs.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/readme.html) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/x3d-compact.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/x3d-compromise.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/X3dToVrml97.xsl) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/x3d-Vrml97Profile-autogenerated.dtd) media-gfx/freewrl-1.06 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/VRML/x3d/XMLSchema.dtd) Searching for file '/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2' in *... You can see, that only the freewrl packages has installed anything under this directory.
finally, with version 1.09, the ebuild must be stable. Try it at http://denics.free.fr/various/FreeWRL/ ciao, Denis
new freewrl-1.10 ebuild always at: http://denics.free.fr
ok, solved problems with the JS.so library. Now you can enjoy with freewrl-1.10-r1 or freewrl-dev-1.11_pre1. Ciao, Denis
New Release: freewrl-dev-1.11_pre2 http://denics.free.fr/various/ebuilds/
New Release: freewrl-dev-1.11_pre4
Hope this is resolved within 1.16.1.
