Hi guys, love your proggy, but found a bug
here's the info you requested to be provided with any bug-report (:http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/hello.html#Reporting-bugs) -- version of hello zapp ~ # hello --version hello (GNU hello) 2.5 -- hardware and operating system names and version zapp ~ # uname -a Linux zapp 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 6 19:36:30 CEST 2010 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU L2500 @ 1.83GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux -- expected behaviour: zapp ~ # hello -n -g moin +------+ | moin | +------+ -- description of problem or any erroneaous output: zapp ~ # hello -n -g moin moin -- option to configure ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-nls -- anything else I think might be helpfull For some reason, the ebuild "app-misc/hello" is masked in the gentoo packaging system. maybe this hints to some bug or incompatibility in general. We think we already have an idea what is happening: obviously the command-line parser implemented in hello only honors the last option. we have tried many different combinations of options, while our assumption held true. --- greez, moin, and thanks for the beautiful software, looking forward to a quick fix, or, if that is not possible, at least some kind of a workaround, .nick
