I'm having intermittent problems with xfig since installing the binaries for XFree86-4.3.0 (direct from their website). I've tried rebuilding xfig, xaw3d and fvwm2 (the window manager I'm using full screen) but haven't managed to exorcise the problems yet, so if anyone has suggestions I'd be grateful.
First problem was that "picture objects" that I edited and clicked "reread" for would come up black, and refuse to display as the picture again until I reloaded the whole fig. That seems to have gone away with the rebuilds for the moment. Then an eps displayed broken lines when I imported it as a picture object. It looks fine in gv, and was originally made in an earlier version of xfig, so I reloaded the fig, re-exported to eps, and then tried importing the new version as a picture object. That crashed xfig completely, with the error: xfig3.2.4: X error trapped - error message follows: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) Request code: X_FreeColors xfig: figure empty or not modified - exiting This doesn't happen for all eps files I've tried, just it does happen with one of the ones I need to use at the moment... I haven't used xfig in ernest for a few weeks, so I can't say for sure this only started with the latest Xfree86 (I've been running the 4.2.99.901 prerelease for a few weeks prior to this). There have been fairly recent xfig updates too that might be where the problem lies. BTW, I can get the same crash under Apple's X11, though note that I'm running this on top of the 4.3.0 /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 so it isn't an "approved" combination... I'm running all this on a dual G4, latest fink, fink commander, up to date with cvs and unstable trees for main (but only stable for crypto) and 10.2.4, Dec Dev tools... Its hard for me to guess where the problem lies, so feel free to redirect me to a more appropriate place than this list if necessary.
