I would like help resolving an error so I can complete a port of Plucker
to Mac OS X. I am building a Fink package so that other Mac OS X users
will be able to enjoy the basic functionality of Plucker when I complete
the port.
I tried working with the Python debugger in the IDLE development
environment. So far I haven't tracked down the problem.
When I execute "plucker-build -f default", I get the expected sequence
of Processing and Retrieved messages. It has a few warnings from
giftopnm, such as the following:
giftopnm: got a 'Application Extension' extension
giftopnm: bogus character 0x00, ignoring
Then I get following error trace:
Writing out collected data...
Writing document 'default' to file /Users/amanshei/.plucker/default.pdb

My platform is Mac OS X using the Fink project. Here are my build
commands.
