07:27.56 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/acinclude.m4: snarf the libtool.m4 macros for AC_PROG_LIBTOOL since there are so many variants and version incompatibilities

08:57.51 CIA-2 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/autogen.sh: add verbose and quiet options and corresponding output. remove convenience passing of autogen args to configure since autogen has it's own args now too.
08:59.23 CIA-2 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/configure.ac: attempt to pull the revision back to 2.52 from 2.57 .. trying to find that convenient supportable version

18:50.28 jano hmm
19:23.39 ks I compiled & installed brl-cad on an Athlon PC running RH8 2.4.20-28.8. I added the necessary EXPORT PATH & BRLCAD_ROOT varsiables. However when I run 'mged' I get a "invalid command "gui" error. Does anybody have any clues or solution to this problem ?
19:24.37 ks I used the latest CVS, as of yesterday...
20:41.49 EricWilhelm ks, someone else was having what sounds like similar trouble. Did the make benchmark work for you?
20:42.14 EricWilhelm iirc, his problem was with an older automake/autoconf or something
20:42.21 EricWilhelm can you build from the tarball?
21:08.58 ks I was able to run the benchmark, all except one set of tests
21:09.21 ks Hang on I need to look up what failed...
21:11.50 ks m35 786358 matching, 74 off by 1, 0 off by many m35.pix: answers are RIGHT
21:13.15 ks I upgraded to autoconf 2.59 yesterday because prior to tat I could not ./configure
21:18.02 ks I have not tried building from a tarball, yet. Do you advise I do?
22:28.49 EricWilhelm I didn't have any trouble with the tarball on this debian 'testing' system, but I have seen a lot of problems from others who are using CVS.
22:29.30 EricWilhelm I don't remember exactly which version of autoconf you need. Ask brlcad/learner (seems he is away right now.)
22:34.37 brlcad ks: sounds like the BRLCAD_ROOT isn't set correctly
22:34.50 brlcad what value is it set to?
22:34.57 brlcad best to unset it
22:35.33 brlcad ks: the off by 1 are quite acceptible
22:36.18 brlcad I commited a lot of fixes to cvs last night, so it should be behaving much better now (and if you ran the benchmarks successfully, it obviously is)
23:08.33 ks BRLCAD_ROOT=/usr/brlcad/bin; export BRLCAD_ROOT, which is where I checked that the the executables are...
23:14.14 starseeker brlcad: You here?
23:15.07 ks Tried installing the tarball 7.0.2, but make bechmark fails ALL tests. Every *.pix file results in "No such file or directory" now !? WRONG WRONG WRONG ...
23:17.17 brlcad ks: BRLCAD_ROOT is actually /usr/brlcad in that case
23:17.32 brlcad starseeker: am now, in and out
23:17.40 brlcad (7.0.4 is almost ready)
23:17.50 starseeker brlcad: OK, cool. I'm preping for another shot at gentoo - is cvs ready?
23:17.56 brlcad ks: rm db/*.g
23:18.08 brlcad then try the benchmark -- it should succeed then
23:18.23 brlcad starseeker: it should be later tonight, still commiting changes
23:18.32 starseeker OK. :-)
23:18.33 brlcad have to upgrade URT and libpng still
23:18.59 brlcad fixed the various automake+libtool problems we've had though .. should make things so much easier now
23:19.03 starseeker I see bzflag 2 is out - there goes any chance of my being productive for another week ;-)
23:19.51 starseeker OK, I'll run it through the ebuild as a quick check then
23:20.40 brlcad starseeker: that's exactly why I CAN be productive now :)
23:20.54 starseeker Well, you're probably the only one :-P
23:20.55 brlcad at least productive for brl-cad :)
23:21.14 brlcad it'll still fail ebuild as I've not commited the pro-e fix yet
23:21.28 starseeker Oh :-)
23:21.37 starseeker nevermind then
23:22.55 ks TThanks for the advise about *.g make benchmark appears to be working now!
23:23.39 brlcad ks: that was a problem in the source tar.gz download for 7.0.2 .. oversight of sorts
23:23.43 ks I will correct the BRLCAD_ROOT var...
23:24.07 brlcad best to try it with BRLCAD_ROOT unset first.. then if that fails, to set it to /usr/brlcad
23:28.25 ks BRLCAD ! Thanks for all your help !!! It works now. I see the dialog window. Catch you later. Keep up the excellent work... and THANKS again.
23:32.05 starseeker brlcad: I'll give it a shot later tonight, when the fixes are in. When do you think? Four, five hours from now?
23:41.24 brlcad ks: glad to hear it's working :)
23:41.33 brlcad starseeker_bzfla: that sounds about right
