hi my VPE hangs when i try to open it after a simple import and visualization of spreadsheet data. So i tried to save the program first and then open it(edit visual program). This resulted in the same behaviour. So i looked at the .net file and tried to open each of the macros that are include manually. This worked fine. next i looked at my environment vars and startup script. sh -x dx ++ echo '' ++ grep dxroot + x= + ARGS= + '[' '!' -z '' ']' + '[' -z '' ']' + prefix=/usr/local + DXROOT=/usr/local/dx + export DXROOT + '[' -z '' ']' + DXDATA=/usr/local/dx/samples/data + '[' -d /usr/local/dx/samples/data ']' + export DXDATA + '[' -z /usr/local/dx/samples/macros/:/mara2/geenen/NCF/test/traccoor/rotatie_nostokes/9 ']' + '[' -z '' ']' + JXMACROS=/usr/local/dx/java/server/dxmacros + '[' -d /usr/local/dx/java/server/dxmacros ']' + '[' -z '' ']' + JXUSERMACROS=/usr/local/dx/java/server/usermacros + '[' -d /usr/local/dx/java/server/usermacros ']' + '[' -z /usr/local/dx/samples/macros/:/mara2/geenen/NCF/test/traccoor/rotatie_nostokes/9 ']' + DXMACROS=/usr/local/dx/samples/macros/:/mara2/geenen/NCF/test/traccoor/rotatie_nostokes/9:/usr/local/dx/java/server/usermacros + '[' '!' -z /usr/local/dx/samples/macros/:/mara2/geenen/NCF/test/traccoor/rotatie_nostokes/9:/usr/local/dx/java/server/usermacros ']' + export DXMACROS + '[' -f /usr/local/dx/bin/dxworker ']' + exec /usr/local/dx/bin/dxworker
that looks just fine since the macros that are used are in /usr/local/dx/samples/macros/ I even include my working dir and copied the included macros to this dir. All with no effect. Next I tried to install dx on a different system. mandrake 9.1 opendx rpm 4.2 I had the same behaviour there. The first lines of the .net file I try to open in the VPE // macro reference (direct): Make3DField /usr/local/dx/samples/macros//Make3DFieldMacro.net include "Make3DFieldMacro.net" // // macro reference (direct): AutoScale /usr/local/dx/samples/macros//AutoScaleMacro.net include "AutoScaleMacro.net" // // macro reference (direct): UnsquishGlyph /usr/local/dx/samples/macros//UnsquishGlyphMacro.net include "UnsquishGlyphMacro.net" // // MODULE main // It looks like dx knows where the macros are since it is able to run the .net file but VPE does not know where the macros are do they use different env settings??? any help would be highly appreciated Thomas Geenen
