Hello Dave! the version of Cairo does seem like the version everyone else is using so that is not the issue at hand.
I am not a Mac guy, so I am out ideas. I only have the usual suggestions, like compile the latest version from git, test your Gerber files on some other machine (maybe it is your Gerber files that breaks gerbv), etc etc. My "goto guy" in this case would be Charles Lepple, but I am not sure he is the correct guy, but he ported gerbv using fink, http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/gerbv Best regards, /Stefan On 09/04/2011 11:55 PM, Dave wrote: > I'm using the macports installation of cairo. > > This is what I get with "port list cairo": > > cairo @1.10.2 graphics/cairo > > This is what I get with "port -qv installed cairo" > > cairo @1.8.8_0+macosx > cairo @1.8.8_0+macosx+universal > cairo @1.8.10_0+macosx+universal > cairo @1.8.10_0+universal platform='darwin 10' archs='i386 x86_64' > cairo @1.10.0_1+universal platform='darwin 10' archs='i386 x86_64' > cairo @1.10.2_2+universal platform='darwin 10' archs='i386 x86_64' > cairo @1.10.2_3+universal+x11 platform='darwin 10' archs='i386 x86_64' > cairo @1.10.2_4+universal+x11 (active) platform='darwin 10' > archs='i386 x86_64' > > I believe the last line is the active version. > > Cairo has so many dependencies, I'd hate to try to install it outside of > macports; although perhaps I can just de-install the cairo package and > compile a fresh cairo on top of the macport-built dependencies. > > Any suggestions on how to root out this issue?
