Hello Romano,
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 and the problem with dashed lines has
disappeared. As a wild guess, could have been related to this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfig/+bug/1177535 ? It was a bug
in the Xorg framebuffer, it seems, that sometime even crashed the application.
That's good to hear! I'll call that "case closed", then. Thanks for the
update.
About the compilation problems I had:
The application has been compiled without Tcl/Tk support. Perhaps you
had to use a specific configuration option to point to the Tcl/Tk
distribution the first time, so your new "./configure --prefix=..."
failed to find the Tcl/Tk files and reverted to the non-Tcl/Tk version.
Ok --- now I am fighting with this thing. I have (at home) tcl8.5,
here tcl8.6. I tried:
The correct incantation has been:
./configure --with-tcl --with-tk --with-tcllibs=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
--with-tklibs=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
Augh, they put it there??
But, I'm thinking that I should start sourcing the tclConfig.sh
file. That one is almost always in a normal, easy-to-find place.
There was a time (back in Tcl version 8.4, I think) when that file
was not a reliable place to pick up library file information. But
I think that has changed with version 8.5, and that file contains
all the information necessary to find the include files and library
files.
So, is there a line in your tclConfig.sh that defines
TCL_LIB_SPEC='-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -ltcl8.5'
?
Thanks for this wonderful program!
You're welcome, my pleasure.
