Have you looks at the file "axis.ngc:" using a text editor or using "less" in a terminal? What do you see near line number 12? The first thing to do is always assume the r=error message is literally true. Perhaps what has happened is that a number in the file has been wrong all along and now the newer software does a better job of catching errors in the files it reads. The problem be syntactical or logical One other debug method I use that works with open source software is to search for the error string in the source code. Then it is pretty easy to see the condition that would cause it to be printed. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
