Re: [NTG-context] Creation of PDF Oddly Differs on Ubuntu and Mac OS X
A Lulu developer was able to find out that the original error was coming out of
the PDFLib library:
{"error_type":"PDFlibException","error_value":"Handle parameter or option of
type 'page' has bad value 0"}
Does that mean anything to anyone?

As it says: "Directory not empty", perhaps you could look in the finder
or terminal to see what is still in there. I actually expect that
there is a Finder-specific file or folder there, which would mean that
the actual problem has nothing to do with the pdf itself, but just with
a difference between MacOSX and Ubuntu.

Re: [NTG-context] Creation of PDF Oddly Differs on Ubuntu and Mac OS X
All,
I could have phrased my question better ... here is another attempt:
I use ConTeXt to generate a PDF for upload using the command "context filename"
on either Mac OS X or Ubuntu. I have installed ConTeXt by installing a TeX Live
distribution on each platform. The command completes without error on either
platform. The PDFs open in Preview (a Mac OS X application for viewing PDFs)
and appear to be correct, regardless of on which platform the PDFs were
created. However, the upload of the PDF created on Mac OS X fails, while the
upload of the PDF created on Ubuntu works.
So, there is something different about these two PDFs which I cannot determine
by opening them in an application for viewing PDFs. But I do not know what is
different, or how to find out.
I have posted an archive that illustrates the issue at
http://www.synterein.com/lulu_context_issues/lulu_context_issue_01.zip
Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
Ray.

[NTG-context] Creation of PDF Oddly Differs on Ubuntu and Mac OS X
All,
I am using ConTeXt to create a PDF for upload to Lulu.com.
I am getting the following exception using the LuLu Python publication API on
Mac OS X 10.6.6 with Python 2.6.6 or 2.7.1:
ServiceError: Couldn't create Lulu project. '{"error_type":
"LFilesystemException", "error_value": "shell command failed: rm -rf
\'/opt/stable/stable/htdocs/items/volume_69/1029/10290657\' 2>&1\\nrm:
cannot remove directory
`/opt/stable/stable/htdocs/items/volume_69/1029/10290657/1/cover\':
Directory not empty", "HTTPErrorCode": 500}'
Oddly, the exact same code works fine on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Python 2.6.5.
I have track down the issue to the difference between the _cover_ PDF created
on Ubuntu with ConTeXt ver: 2009.11.26 16:28 MKIV and on Mac OS X with ConTeXt
ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKIV, although the cover PDF generated on either
platform appears correctly in Preview.
I have posted an archive that illustrates the issue at
http://www.synterein.com/lulu_context_issues/lulu_context_issue_01.zip
Any wisdom out there? What should I look for next?
Ray.
