Gnumeric on 3.6
The gnumeric developers assert that gnumeric is 'stable' ie rarely crashes. Yet my experience is that gnumeric crashes *frequently* while attempting to create pdf files. Does anyone else running gnumeric on 3.6 or 3.7 experience gnumeric crashing during the creation of pdf files? Is gnumeric running on 3.7 significantly better (ie crashes less during pdf file creation) than the gnumeric version running on 3.6? Thanks, Dave Feustel

I appreciate the effort that the OpenBSD developers put into porting those apps to OpenBSD. But it is clear that those apps have problems running on OpenBSD. If the Gnu and KDE developers do not build and test the apps on OpenBSD then I will switch to Windows Office suite. I already know that Exel works better than gnumeric and kspread when it comes to printing - my paramount requirement. I assume you mean gnome and not gnu. Your attitude is pathetic and if you can't be bothered to contribute anything, then you have no right to complain. Do you seriously expect every single open source project to have dozens of machines to do test builds under every OS out there. You already have an openbsd machine, and you have the problem. They have neither. If you can't be bothered to fire up gdb and copy and paste a backtrace for them, then you have no business whining about it crashing. Part of the effort you claim to appreciate is submitting useful bug reports so people can fix problems. What makes applications linux applications is people not bothering to help make them work everywhere else. Adam
