Xcircuit-dev Problems with xcircuit on Mac 10.7.4 and wish8.5 Xcircuit-dev Problems with xcircuit on Mac 10.7.4 and wish8.5 Tim Edwards Fri May 25 11:04:33 EDT 2012. Previous message:. Next message:. Messages sorted by: Hello StewartI've been trying for quite a while now to get back to a useable installation of xcircuit on my macbook. Before a recent OS update I had a working installation of xcircuit-3.7.26 but now I can't even get that version to build (I'll tack on the make output error at the end of this email). I can get the newest stable version 3.7.39 to install successfully either with building myself or using macports to install but both of them crash at runtime.

The software starts X11, opens the drawing window then aborts and it's wish8.5 that crashes. This happens regardless of whether it is built using the macports installed version of tcl/tk or the built in one (which I know isn't supposed to work). This is the crashlog for it running using the mapcorts installed wish: Process: wish8.5 22167 Path: /opt/local/bin/wish8.5 Identifier: wish8.5 Version:??? (???) Code Type: X86-64 (Native) Parent Process: bash 17445 I think that the Tcl/Tk port is good, given that it seems to have passed a bunch of initialization code. It has crashed inside the routine findcrashfiles on a call to sprintf, which is probably filelist.c line 261: sprintf(STR, '%s/%s', xobjs.tempdir, dp-dname); If you can run a debugger, it would be helpful to stop at the crash point, bring the scope up to this routine, and check the values of xobjs.tempdir and dp-dname.

My suspicion is that the use of /tmp as a directory to save backup files may not be compatible with Mac OS-X's way of doing things, although the only thing I can think of that would cause a crash would be a NULL value of dp-dname. It seems unlikely, but I can't think of anything else.

Unless the temp directory and temp filename are so long that they exceed the 250 character limit of STR. That also seems unlikely.Tim +-+-+ Dr. Timothy Edwards (Tim) email: Open Circuit Design, Inc. web: 22815 Timber Creek Lane phone: (301) 528-5030 Clarksburg, MD cell: (240) 401-0616 +-+-+.
