Re: [Xastir] Snapshot problems
Thanks Lee, I will try that when I get back to it on Monday or Tuesday. Right now I am traveling. The distro of Kubuntu9.10/Xastir 1.9.7 (2009-12-05) was from the Xastirwiki site Thanks again Lee Bengston wrote: Mike, It sounds like the kubuntu iso I distributed. I duplicated the problem and fixed it by installing libxpm-dev and rebuilding Xastir. (Thanks, Curt, for identifying libxpm) Assuming you are using an installation that came from the Kubuntu image that I posted, here is how I got snapshots to work: sudo apt-get install libxpm-dev cp -r /home/a-user/src ~/ cd ~/src/xastir ./configure make sudo make install Not surprisingly, the same issue is present with either the ubuntu or kubuntu images. Although I did back out OpenOffice in order to make room for Xastir and its dependencies, I don't think I removed libxpm-dev. It appears that libxpm-dev needs to be added as a package to be installed in the HowTo for Ubuntu 9.04/9.10 in the wiki Regards, Lee - K5DAT Murphy, TX On 1/16/10, Mike w2swrs...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Curt, The Xastir Kubuntu were both packaged together in a disk image, I don't have the dev headers but I will give them a try. I will also check out whether or not it was w/ or w/o libxpm suooprt. tnx, de Mike, W2SWR -- Curt, WE7U wrote: On Thu, 14 Jan 2010, Mike wrote: Yes they're there Meaning the libXpm shared libraries and development headers? Did you compile Xastir from sources after those were installed? If you're running a pre-compiled Xastir binary, perhaps it was compiled w/o support for libXpm? ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Odd. At any rate, xorg-dev should be listed, regardless, and has been for a few days. It's coming back to me now. Either prior to or about the same time that Ubuntu 9.04 came out, I was working on compiling Xastir on a new Mandriva version - the first one with KDE 4, and when I installed Mandriva's equivalent to xorg-dev (xorg-devel, I think), it orphaned a bunch of libraries and completely broke the KDE desktop. I ended up trying to compile Xastir without it, however, and it worked. When Ubuntu 9.04 came out, I tried compiling without xorg-dev, and it worked again. Although I didn't write the HowTo for Ubuntu 9.04, I mentioned the ability to compile without xorg-dev to Kevin R., who did write it, and I believe he (and later several others following the same HowTo) installed without xorg-dev and did not experience difficulty. In hindsight snapshots probably didn't work - shows how often a bunch of us actually use that feature. Because xorg-dev had broken KDE 4 in another distribution, and I hadn't tried Kubuntu 9.04 yet, I thought it best to leave out xorg-dev in the 9.04 HowTo given things seemed to work without it. I've continued to be able to compile in Ubuntu 9.10 without xorg-dev. I built a new VM today with Kubuntu 9.10 just to be sure, and once again, it worked. I suspect the reason 9.10 failed without xorg-dev for you is due to the substitution of GraphicsMagick for ImageMagick. The two packages that appear to grab many of the same packages that are dependencies of xorg-dev are libxp-dev and libmagickcore-dev. I'm guessing that the dev package for GraphicsMagick doesn't pick up at least one key package that the dev for ImageMagick does. After compiling Xastir without xorg-dev today in the new Kubuntu 9.10 VM, I then added xorg-dev and recompiled. It didn't harm KDE 4, and snapshots worked. So we're definitely good to go with xorg-dev back in the wiki. Thanks, Lee - K5DAT ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
