Title: Qplot dies
Post by: Pyrates on October 11, 2004, 03:39:54 pm
Hi there!

I can't start qplot. When I start it with the opie icon, it SIGPIPEs, when I start it from a terminal, it just dosn't start. I straced it, and I have the following output (well, lots more, of course, but this is the error in my eyes):
Quote
fstat64(8, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=12826, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 12826, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 8, 0) = 0x407c6000
close(8)                                = 0
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40015000
write(1, "ibase_decimal=ibase\n", 20)   = -1 EPIPE (Broken pipe)
--- SIGPIPE (Broken pipe) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGPIPE +++

Can anybody please help me understand it? Looks like qplot is trying to write to a file, but which one? If it helps, I can post the whole strace output, of course... Thanks for any help!

Cheers
Philipp

Did you get anywhere with this problem? or is it the same thing in 3.5.2?

No sorry, I haven't tried more, I wouldn't know what. I am still on OZ 3.5.1 (no time for switching before the holidays), but I'll have a new try when I upgraded.

Don't know if that  problem is still actual for you. The behaviour on my 3.5.2 is still the same.

As I've found out, the case you describe with strace is caused by a missing bc binary.
Additionally when you install bc qplot expects it under /opt/QtPalmtop/bin, so you have to link it.

Nevertheless qplot dies with sigsegv when doing it's first calculations ... (but I don't know if that is caused by some old libs from the feed mixed with qplot compiled with some newer libs)

Would be interested if it's running on your 3.5.2

Have to build a cross-gdb to catch this error ...
