Description Boris Schroder 2005-11-28 03:30:35 UTC
Hi,
I emerged xsv-2.7 but then couldn't find the xsv executable or 
the commandLine.py per usage recommendation from the tool's web page.
Did I miss something here?
After the emerge, I 'located' most xsv file in the portage tree under dev-python
and /var/db/pkg/dev-python/xsv-2.7
but that's it. If the ebuild is like the source package installation described
on their web site, then we are missing the 'commandLine.py' file I guess.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

The author of the XSV program recommends running it with
>python commandLine.py
but I didn't see that script anywhere in the Gentoo package.
How do you guys run it?

I'm use 
python /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/XSV/commandLine.py
to start it but it does not work:
see bug #117130

i did some more analysis of this, actually the whole ltxml, pyltxml and xsv is broken. i tried to email the guys who work on ltxml and pyltxml with a patch that at least makes the latest version of pyltxml and ltxml compile, but they don't seem to be responding at all. 

i might commit what i have to at least make it compile, but i also cannot run the commandline xsv because it seg faults inside pyltxml.

i suspect that we might have to remove ltxml, pyltxml and xsv from the tree because its not maintained upstream any more. otherwise, any suggestions?

Upstream guys were recommending using python2.3, so I removed ltxml,pyltxml and xsv, set the 'python' symlink to python2.3, re-emerged ltxml,pyltmxl and xsv, but I am still getting the segmentation fault as soon as I run
python XSV/commandLine.py tiny.xml tiny.xsd

I tried the same with the latest XSV-2.10.tar.gz, same thing.

Did you try to contact 
henry thompson: ht at inf ed ac uk  ?
He's usually pretty responsive and I think he wrote ltxml, XSV and
has a web version of XSV running somehow, so maybe he knows more.

This is way old, open a new bug if you still care.
