Description Bence Nagy 2004-09-28 14:40:56 UTC

The aconf.h file contains a wrong place of the xpdfrc file because Gentoo place this file under /etc and not under /usr/local/etc.

One line into the ebuild into the unpack section solves the problem:

sed -i "s:/usr/local/etc/xpdfrc:/etc/xpdfrc:" aconf.h

(or similar)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set another encoding into /etc/xpdfrc
2. Run pdftohtml, there will be no changes
3. copy /etc/xpdfrc to /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc
4. Now it works...



Expected Results:  
Using the xpdf's settings

Comment 1 David Heavens 2004-10-21 10:23:17 UTC

xpdf seems not to look for /etc/xpdfrc however it doesnot seem to look for /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc.

the xpdf USE flags are, motif and nodrm.

with the xpdfrc files as,

/usr/local/etc/xpdfrc
not in existence

/etc/xpdf
