Message-ID: <Cq783F.9Dt@sci.kun.nl> Summary: xvgr compiled under FreeBSD-1.1R, XFree86-1.2.1 and XView 3.2 dumps core Keywords: FreeBSD, XFree86 ACE xvgr Sender: news@sci.kun.nl (News owner) Nntp-Posting-Host: angel.sci.kun.nl Organization: University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands X-Newsreader: NN version 6.4.19 Date: Sun, 22 May 1994 10:06:50 GMT Lines: 22 Hello, did anyone succeeded to run xvgr (data display and processing software from Paul J. Turner, available via anon ftp from ftp.ccalmr.ogi.edu or ftp.x.org) under FreeBSD version 1.1 ? I tried to compile both versions, 2.09 and 2.10 under FreeBSD 1.1R, XFree86 1.2.1 and with binaries of XView 3.2 from freebsd.cdrom.com packages 1.1 directory. Both xvgr versions compile without any problems (a few warnings about pointers refered as integers without a cast) on 8MB 486DX and both dump core with "floating point exception" when I try to run them. gdb seems to indicate that exception is somewhere in the window creation area (calculation of pixels, ticks etc), so it may be XView problem as well, but I do not know enough about XView/xvgr to resolve it. I will appreciate any helpful comments/remarks. Aleksander Wittlin High Field Magnet Laboratory University of Nijmegen The Netherlands
