OK, So I grabbed dia-CVS-20011015-0723.tar.gz (from the url you gave me) which I presume is 10/15's cvs snapshot, correct? When I tar xzvf'ed it. It unrolled everything and I noticed two dangling links:
py-compile ->/usr/share/automake/py-compile and depcomp -> /usr/share/automake/depcomp The build didn't work because of the missing depcomp - no surprises there. I don't do alot of compiling on this box, just stuff like ALSA and gaim; but am I supposed to have these things? If so, where do I get them? Also, ./configure mentioned something about unicode support - which I prefer. Where do i get the needed libs for this. Thanks for your help. -Fred -----Original Message----- From: Young, Robert Sent: Tue 10/16/2001 8:21 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: Subject: RE: Newbie: Lost my fit-to-page lines?? > Fred Welland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote > > In efforts to completely switch to Linux, I am giving dia a > try.

Are you able to try the latest CVS version? If you can't access the CVS then download the latest snapshot from http://www.crans.org/~chepelov/dia/snapshots A lot has happened since 0.88.1 and I am confident this should allow you to print - in 0.88.1 some objects were getting erroneous bounding boxes and so lots of things got stuffed up. If this doesn't help, or if you are unable to get a CVS copy or snapshot to compile, please let us know. Thank you for trying dia!
