• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description EmaRsk 2005-04-17 12:38:46 UTC]

analog (from chipmunk suite) freezes when trying plotting because it looks for the fonts in the wrong path

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

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
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

[Comment 2 Olivier Fisette (RETIRED) 2005-08-22 19:33:01 UTC]

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

[Comment 3 Markus Dittrich (RETIRED) 2005-09-18 19:29:53 UTC]

Created attachment 68786 [details, diff]
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.

[Comment 4 Olivier Fisette (RETIRED) 2005-09-19 15:26:28 UTC]

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