01:01.26 poolio ``Erik: This response is quite late, but you can ask away and I shall respond if I'm still here when you ask
01:03.39 IriX64 maybe I'll play ``Erik and ask ;)
01:06.50 poolio You can if I want, I'm just a bad coder that got lucky ;)
01:07.01 IriX64 :)
01:07.48 poolio IriX64: Where are you from?
01:08.03 IriX64 Canada Ontario
01:09.22 poolio Ah cool. And what do you do for a living?
01:09.37 IriX64 I don't live I exist :)
01:10.01 IriX64 disability pension at the moment (sigh)
01:10.21 poolio So you work on getting brl-cad working in windows for fun?
01:10.26 IriX64 yes
01:10.34 poolio Very nice of you
01:10.49 IriX64 heh thanks for the nice project to play with
01:11.14 poolio heh, wasn't me. Do you do any CAD work or just enjoy trying to get BRL-CAD working?
01:11.45 IriX64 no cad work, had a course in Autocad but i sucked at it, love trying to learn brl-cad
01:12.54 poolio Cool man, best of luck :) Ever try to just run it in a Unix-based environment?
01:13.24 IriX64 retired my redhat-5.1 ages ago sorry
01:14.31 poolio it's all good. Windows has its uses, but I'm a coder and really need my Linux environment. I can't imagine trying to code in a full-fledged IDE after so many years with my trusty vim
01:14.54 IriX64 I like the best of both worlds
01:14.58 poolio hmm, I guess that's unrelated to windows, mainly my perception of it and the fact that I last used VisualC++
01:15.32 IriX64 i have visual studio and watcom both decent environments
01:19.21 poolio never heard of watcom, but i'm thinking of getting a wacom tablet
01:20.00 IriX64 digitizing versus mouseclicking
01:21.03 poolio Well I'm going to college and am getting an ultraportable. I figure that a tablet would be useful for typing up notes and say drafting designs/flow charts
01:21.35 IriX64 typing on a digitizer , what'd i miss
01:24.23 poolio huh?
01:24.51 IriX64 how do you type on a digitizing tablet?
01:25.08 IriX64 ahh i see the ultraportable
01:25.11 IriX64 :)
01:26.41 poolio It's not like a mousepad-sized digitizer, it's built into the screen
01:27.09 IriX64 oh ok
02:00.08 IriX64 have i shown you this ---> http://www3.sympatico.ca/mario.dulisse2/brlcadinaction
02:03.22 poolio +.png, but yeah you have.
02:03.47 poolio Also, may I suggest creating some sort of thumbnail gallery with your BRL-CAD pics, and writing comments describing what's happening in the pics?
02:04.11 poolio You bombard this channel with updates, maybe it'd be better to start a blog to keep us up to date and that way you can show it to other people as well that are not on IRC
02:05.31 IriX64 will take it into consideration
02:06.17 poolio you could throw it on blogspot or something and get it hosted for free and with an already made interface. seems pretty handy and that way you can check back on your progress, or see archived/older screen shots
02:07.49 IriX64 like www.irix64.spaces.live.com/photos ?
02:08.13 poolio That site never works for me, something to do with my iceweasel installation, but maybe
02:08.18 IriX64 was trying to stay away from sites that not all browsers can access
02:08.46 poolio Heh, I cant access that one, but whatever floats your boat
02:09.22 IriX64 my boat sank :)
02:21.48 IriX64 http://rafb.net/p/iAb3gc15.html <---- whats this on 7.10?
02:22.37 louipc yeah the msn spaces have xml oddities, microsoft going outside of spec I guess
02:23.00 brlcad IriX64: that's the same problems as before, you've got messed up inclusion orders and interfaces enabled that shouldn't be given the compilation settings
02:23.07 IriX64 heh if i were paranoid, i'd think they did it on purpose :)
02:23.29 IriX64 so you compile one *or the other?
02:23.54 brlcad depends entirely on the platform and the stuff available
02:24.09 brlcad suffice to say, we've had this same talk and even over that same error
02:24.21 IriX64 soon as you mention platform I have to retire (sigh)
02:24.25 brlcad it's not going to get fixed anytime soon until you're willing to look into it more methodically
02:24.49 IriX64 lets go, you drive
02:25.14 IriX64 ill checkout a whole new tree, just a sec
02:25.19 brlcad do you have a clean checkout of cvs head?
02:25.31 brlcad yeah, that's needed .. and it MUST remain unmodified
02:25.46 IriX64 got it give me 20 minutes
02:26.27 louipc I keep one directory for clean checkout/update and one for building/modifications
02:26.41 IriX64 ill adopt that
02:26.44 louipc just copy over
02:27.00 IriX64 just rename the bloody directory :)
02:27.09 IriX64 with mc its easy
02:27.12 louipc yep
02:27.40 IriX64 roses need watering, ill be back in a bit
02:36.15 IriX64 checked out how do you want to proceed?
02:36.36 brlcad default configure, post the config.log somewhere
02:36.41 IriX64 ok
02:40.31 IriX64 heh if you laugh at my triplets i'll never speak to you again ;)
02:42.48 brlcad is that a promise or a threat?
02:43.09 IriX64 a poor attempt at humour :)

14:01.09 CIA-29 BRL-CAD: 03erikgreenwald * 10brlcad/src/util/pl-X.c: cast to quell warning
14:02.25 poolio mornin, see ``Erik's already up
14:04.11 ``Erik well, I kinda have to get into the office at 8:30 most days...
14:04.42 poolio hehe. :)
14:04.55 poolio I slept in today but that means I have to work late :\
14:05.08 Laniakea ``Erik: do you have an idea how to fix this? clock@kestrel:~$ mged
14:05.08 Laniakea Initializing and backgrounding, please wait...Done
14:05.08 Laniakea version conflict for package "Itcl": have 3.3, need 33
14:05.08 Laniakea MGED Aborted.
14:08.14 ``Erik um, I'd imagine itcl builds its version depending on what the os expects libraries to be named and then tests version in the scripts without paying attention to that...
14:08.28 ``Erik obsd doesn't do dotted .so names, does it?
14:09.04 ``Erik I know in the configure script, I shoved in a bunch of tests for tcl and tk that go like '8.5 85' in the search
14:09.24 ``Erik unfortunately, I don't have an obsd box anymore :(
14:10.03 ``Erik (short answer; itcl is broken in your install)
14:14.12 Laniakea what's dotted .so names?
14:14.22 Laniakea I guess every library name contains at least one dot
14:14.59 Laniakea aha the problem is that 33 is actually 3.3 with the dot removed?
14:15.48 Laniakea I have libtcl84.so.1.0 in /usr/local/lib
14:16.24 Laniakea then also /usr/brlcad/lib/libitcl3.3.so.0.0
14:16.38 ``Erik yeah
14:16.46 ``Erik itcl didn't build it, it'd seem
14:16.51 ``Erik build right, rather
14:16.56 Laniakea can I safely remove /usr/brlcad and run make install again?
14:17.04 ``Erik it should probably be libitcl33.so.0.0
14:17.13 ``Erik I don't know if that would fix it...
14:17.19 louipc yeah I thought bsd removes the dot
14:17.21 ``Erik you might try just moving the offending .so files
14:17.42 Laniakea but I don't have a system wide itcl lib
14:17.53 ``Erik fbsd can keep the dots in the name
14:18.21 poolio just softlink the 3.3 to 33?
14:18.46 ``Erik sure
14:19.09 ``Erik um, and the symlinks, too... libitcl33.so libitcl33.so.0 libitcl33.so.0.0
14:19.11 ``Erik and see if that works
14:19.40 ``Erik and the itk's, if they're also messed up
14:20.06 poolio it's a bad hack, the problem should be fixed :)
14:20.21 ``Erik no shit? but this will tell us if it's really the problem
14:20.39 Laniakea now I did rm -rf /usr/brlcad and doing make install
14:20.48 Laniakea because there was some old stuff from 7.8.4 and this is 7.10.0
14:21.12 ``Erik ok, see if mged works, if not, try the symlink hack and see if that fixes it...
14:21.18 Laniakea The README says how to install but doesn't say how to reinstall a new version, which people also do often.
14:21.58 ``Erik in theory, it should just overwrite leftovers
14:22.30 ``Erik around here, they like to --prefix=/usr/brlcad/7.10.0 and ln -s /usr/brlcad/7.10.0/* /usr/brlcad/
14:44.09 Laniakea ``Erik: after deleting the brlcad directory in the system and rerunning make install the error message has changed.
14:45.16 Laniakea ``Erik: http://pastebin.ca/623338
14:46.56 ``Erik do you have /usr/brlcad/lib/itcl3.3 or /usr/brlcad/lib/itcl33 ?
14:46.58 poolio find / -name itcl.tcl ?
14:47.13 ``Erik eck, on root? why no /usr/brlcad?
14:47.29 Laniakea I don't have /usr/brlcad/lib/itcl3.3 and I have /usr/brlcad/lib/itcl33.
14:48.03 ``Erik how interesting
14:48.11 Laniakea now running find / -name itcl.tcl
14:48.17 ``Erik setenv ITCL_LIBRARY /usr/brlcad/lib/itcl33
14:48.23 ``Erik setenv ITK_LIBRARY /usr/brlcad/lib/itk33
14:48.26 ``Erik then try mged again?
14:49.27 Laniakea setenv: command not found
14:49.43 ``Erik oh, um
14:49.47 ``Erik are you using bash?
14:49.56 ``Erik or one of the bsh family? (ksh, zsh, etc)
14:50.07 Laniakea yes I am using bash
14:50.17 ``Erik export ITCL_LIBRARY=/usr/brlcad/libitcl33
14:50.19 Laniakea if I replace setenv a b with export a=b then mged says good old
14:50.20 ``Erik and the same for itk
14:50.26 Laniakea version conflict for package "Itcl": have 3.3, need 33
14:50.32 Laniakea I did both exports.
14:52.59 Laniakea <PROTECTED>
14:53.04 Laniakea /usr/brlcad/lib/itcl33/itcl.tcl
14:57.26 Laniakea I don't understand what I should try with the symlinks
14:57.40 Laniakea how did you mean with the symlinks?
14:59.44 ``Erik lhttp://paste.lisp.org/display/44680
14:59.47 ``Erik http://paste.lisp.org/display/44680
15:07.30 Laniakea it prints
15:07.33 Laniakea ln: /usr/brlcad/lib/libitcl33.so.0.0: File exists
15:07.33 Laniakea ln: /usr/brlcad/lib/libitk33.so.0.0: File exists
15:08.12 poolio that's fine
15:08.14 Laniakea and running mged (without the exports) does again the long error message
15:08.25 Laniakea should I try with the export?
15:08.31 poolio yes
15:10.43 Laniakea So now it prints again clock@kestrel:~$ version conflict for package "Itcl": have 3.3, need 33
15:11.17 Laniakea and MGED Aborted
15:12.37 poolio I could keep guessing but you're better off waiting for someone who knows what they're doing
15:16.24 poolio Could it have something to do with package checks on startup? something to do with the way the tcl/tk packages are registered on the system?
15:18.27 ``Erik no
15:19.15 ``Erik clock: can you do "make -V ITCL_VERSION" in the source directory and tell me what it says?
15:20.42 Laniakea It says "gmake: invalid option -- V"
15:21.10 ``Erik using bsd make...? :)
15:21.20 ``Erik or grep it out of Makefile
15:21.37 ``Erik I suspect it says "3.3" instead of "33"
15:25.34 Laniakea when I do unalias gmake then make -V ITCL_VERSION says 33
15:25.50 Laniakea (on a separate single line, without any quotes)
15:27.17 ``Erik huh, odd
15:29.11 ``Erik ok, if you go into src/other/incrTcl and do /usr/bin/make -V lib_LTLIBRARIES
15:29.16 ``Erik what's that say?

15:42.49 poolio brlcad: I'm still partially confused about the offset thing. It works fine, I didn't manually modify offsets, the internal object remains unchanged, however the directory pointer has changed, I recreate it using diradd on the new database
15:50.59 Laniakea libitcl.la libitcl33.la libitk.la libitk33.la
15:58.06 ``Erik wwweeeiiirrrdddd
15:58.29 ``Erik I don't understand why it's installing as libitcl3.3.so O.o libtool muffed up mebbe? *shrug*
16:01.23 *** join/#brlcad docelic (n=docelic@212.15.185.24)
16:01.25 Laniakea so what should I do?
16:01.34 Laniakea give some more diagnostic information?
16:02.12 *** join/#brlcad iraytrace (n=iraytrac@cocoa.sci.utah.edu)
16:08.25 poolio brlcad or maybe ``Erik can answer this, in db_tree.c, db_count_tree_nodes(), shouldn't the logic be that the CSG operators: union, intersect, etc... add one to the node count? Aren't they considered nodes after all?
16:13.42 iraytrace The word "node" is probably a misnomer in this context
16:13.58 iraytrace It's counting primitives and regions really
16:14.28 Laniakea ``Erik: brlcad 7.8.4 compiled and installed fine for me
16:14.52 Laniakea but it produced faulty output from rtedge.
16:15.00 iraytrace I wonder if the code, the comment or both are incorrect. I'd have to see what uses it.
16:15.03 Laniakea because of race condition between two threads
16:19.24 poolio iraytrace: I ask because I need the functionality of counting all nodes, including non-leaf nodes and am debating whether to modify that and rewrite a new one that just adds one for the other OPs
16:20.06 iraytrace Have to check the code that calls this already and make sure it won't break before making the change.
16:20.20 poolio I can do that
16:20.31 iraytrace Goferit
16:23.11 poolio iraytrace: I think there's an error, or some sort of weird overlap, db_count_tree_nodes and db_tree_nleaves seem to be the same thing, however nleaves does not count OP_NOPs, and db_count_tree_nodes counts OP_XOR as a unary op, isn't it supposed to be binary?
16:23.52 iraytrace Sound like it to mee.
16:24.30 poolio Actually, db_count_tree_nodes seems to be no longer in use
16:24.45 poolio I think I should modify it to do what it says it should, and I'll change XOR to binary
16:24.54 iraytrace sounds like a plan.
16:25.04 iraytrace Thanks
16:30.00 CIA-29 BRL-CAD: 03poolio * 10brlcad/src/librt/db_tree.c: db_count_tree_nodes() now counts nodes and leaves
16:31.16 poolio hmm, that commit message is not right, but oh well
16:32.00 Laniakea Who understands this itcl stuff the most?
16:32.56 poolio probably brlcad, but he's a busy man
16:34.14 Laniakea There must've been some change around the itcl when it worked in brlcad-7.8.4 and doesn't work in 7.10.0, is it right?

19:32.15 IriX64 how do i complain to microsoft errr do I dare complain, at the moment those are free sites :)
19:32.35 poolio I have no clue, sorry

19:33.20 IriX64 should make a page

19:45.19 poolio MinuteElectron: shouldn't be too bad, binary-based distro.
19:46.05 MinuteElectron Hmm, I had to download the alternate installer. The standard Live CD installer wouldn't even boot on HELIUM (my other system which is only 400MHz).
19:48.30 poolio woah
19:48.40 poolio No wonder, why do you still have a 400mhz ;)
19:49.02 MinuteElectron Because I haven't the money to maintain two good computers.

19:51.06 poolio Yeah, with the work I'm doing this summer I'm able to buy a new computer, but I'm saving most of it and going cheap.

20:01.15 louipc poolio: I get an xml error with firefox
20:01.36 poolio louipc: yeah, iceweasel is just what they call the newer version of firefox
20:01.46 poolio i forget the whole firefox nomenclature
20:02.49 IriX64 looks purty
20:03.29 yukonbob poolio: if you get the serial#, you can confirm the warranty w/ IBM
20:03.54 IriX64 thinkpad, does it really help you think :)
20:04.21 louipc I thought that iceweasel is a fork of firefox
20:04.24 MinuteElectron dtidrow: Did I underclock what?
20:04.49 MinuteElectron dtidrow: All my friends take the piss out of my FX5200.
20:04.58 louipc because they won't allow you to do a custom build and still call it firefox
20:05.03 MinuteElectron dtidrow: I am saving up to get a PCI system at Christmas.
20:05.04 louipc dumb mozilla license
20:05.34 dtidrow MinuteElectron: heh
20:05.55 louipc I have the same card as you hah
20:06.02 dtidrow $100 would get you a 7600
20:06.05 louipc I think it's broken
20:06.12 louipc I got mine ages ago though
20:06.27 poolio yukonbob: I just sent the question to the seller, good point
20:06.54 MinuteElectron dtidrow: That would be a waste since all AGP cards will be out of date in about 5 months and I want to future-proof myself. THis system I am using now has lasted 4 years.
20:07.19 louipc what's the next interface then?
20:07.31 dtidrow PCIe
20:07.33 poolio PCI-e
20:07.55 louipc cool
20:15.43 MinuteElectron brlcad: I am going away on holiday for one week on Friday so will be unable to finish the theme for the website until after I come back.
20:16.18 MinuteElectron brlcad: If I set up LDAP I will be able to set the site to use the defaults themes and you will be able to add content to the wiki and drupal while I am away.
20:17.17 MinuteElectron brlcad: If you want to, that is.

20:22.16 dtidrow heh - found a new version that detects the h/w & s/w better
20:22.23 MinuteElectron hehe
20:41.36 IriX64 poolio: http://www3.sympatico.ca/mario.dulisse2/Current.png
20:43.02 IriX64 man, it's a cygwin build, would it be cricket to add that somewhere?
20:46.39 *** join/#brlcad louipc (n=louipc@bas8-toronto63-1096735162.dsl.bell.ca)
20:54.49 IriX64 say, brlcad would it help to have my 7.8.4 config.log to compare against, if it will ill put it up there.
20:59.31 MinuteElectron IriX64: cricket?
21:03.25 IriX64 would it be allright :)
21:03.59 MinuteElectron I think so.
21:04.10 IriX64 ty
21:04.16 MinuteElectron A old version of windows exists.
21:04.37 MinuteElectron But don't trust me, I am simpyl the website developer.
21:04.43 MinuteElectron I could be all wrong.
21:04.43 IriX64 i Know, 7.8.0
21:05.11 MinuteElectron A newer version would be good (I could try it out). :P
21:05.42 IriX64 maybe ill send you a cygwin build when im done :)
21:06.15 IriX64 *Ill provide the required dll's
21:07.53 IriX64 and xserver
21:08.17 MinuteElectron cool
21:09.42 louipc how's the website?
21:10.33 louipc if you ever need a hand I can do some of that :D
21:11.37 MinuteElectron cool
21:12.18 MinuteElectron I am still working on the theme, but so it is active while I am gone I am going to set up LDAP by friday and that way people can add content while I am on holiday.
21:14.30 louipc hmm I've never used that before
21:15.08 MinuteElectron me neither - but I will get it to work. I promise.
21:15.15 louipc :D

21:35.36 poolio oh well, so it goes.
21:35.47 dtidrow this sucker goes for about $4500 on Dell's website, and it's current h/w
21:36.56 dtidrow I need to see if I can get the display resolution to show up as well - this one has a 1920x1200 flatpanel on it
21:44.06 dtidrow btw, that $4500 apparently includes an external monitor that I think is also 1920x1200
21:45.06 MinuteElectron Goodnight.
21:45.24 dtidrow 'nite
21:58.20 poolio brlcad: if I have the choice between writing code that works fine but is very specific and writing code that can be more modularized and allow different implementations, should I choose the latter?
21:59.04 brlcad depends how much architecting is required to modularize it, and what sort of "different implementations", but in general sure
21:59.07 poolio Like for the genetic operations I currently am writing different routines for the different operations, but I could do it by having a generalized routine and then a function pointer to a routine that will do the more specific processing
21:59.19 brlcad wow, busy day
22:00.00 poolio Well like, i'm implementing crossover and mutation, should I set it up so if people want to implement other operations that I do not, it will be easier for that to occur? I guess the main question is, is anyone else going to be heavily modifying this code?
22:00.09 poolio brlcad: yeah, where have you been all day :)
22:05.26 brlcad MinuteElectron: that sounds like a great plan
22:08.21 brlcad IriX64: sure, post both for comparison
22:08.32 IriX64 all right
22:13.18 IriX64 config.log-7.8.4 same site as config.log
22:14.08 brlcad poolio: meetings, discussions, fires, the usual
22:15.16 brlcad poolio: I don't think it's heavily likely that someone else is going to be _heavily_ modifying anytime real soon, it's more a tool that will work or not work outright
22:15.48 brlcad it would be nice to be able to extract out the genetic algorithm into a generic library, but then that is probably too much overhead work to complete this summer
22:15.54 poolio alright, so the effort put into making an easier interface isn't necessarily worth the time
22:16.01 poolio yeah, it is :)
22:16.23 brlcad yeah, configurable would be good, but doesn't need to be necessarily "easier" code-wise
22:16.51 poolio Yes, I'm definitely going to separate any sort of "Genetic algorithm variables"
22:17.05 brlcad like being able to specify the size of the population, mutation rates, max tree depths, types of allowed operators/primitives, etc
22:17.53 poolio Yeah definitely
22:18.34 brlcad MinuteElectron: curious comment about ldap -- you're not talking about using ldap for the content are you?
22:18.51 poolio I didn't think it would take as long as it's taking, my coding is just going at a slothlike pace for some reason. Every day I make atleast one lage stupid mistake. I was hoping to have it done by now and be working on say having a genetic algorithm or neural net work on finding the best variables for the lower level genetic algorithm
22:18.53 brlcad I can easily see it for the user directory, content is a little more tricky
22:19.55 brlcad poolio: you're actually father than I "expected" but spot on where I hoped ;)
22:20.30 poolio I think what I messed up was I dove into the code a bit too soon, didn't quite spend enough time planning.
22:20.51 poolio I lacked the foresight to see a lot of the problems that have come up. But then again hindsight is 20/20...
22:21.27 brlcad yep
22:21.43 brlcad you've made consistent progress
22:21.53 brlcad and no glaring/blatent problems to say the least
22:22.12 brlcad just needs more code, more chugging along
22:23.17 poolio i mean the first main issue was the tree represenation pain in the butt, and now the organization of my code is needing a change to work better with the genetic operations
22:23.46 poolio I'm a couple hundred lines away from a working crossover and framework for mutation, than I'll have to code in the specific cases for mutation, and then I can test, hopefully
22:24.14 poolio ah hooray, kind of,
22:24.15 poolio eBay Listing 130134532113 Cancelled - Results Null and Void
22:24.35 dtidrow which means?
22:25.36 poolio seller should repost it, and I'll have a chance to re-bid.
22:26.50 poolio brlcad: alright I'm off for the night, but tomorrow I will have workign crossover dammit.
