00:34.41 CIA-33 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30545 10/brlcad/tags/rel-4-5/mged/dm-glX.c: case-preserving filesystem doesn't like that there is a dm-glX.c and a dm-glx.c .. which are exactly identical except one is missing the history. so remove this stubby one.

03:39.34 poolio brlcad: woah...I've been digging around for an internship at JHU doing more brain/neuroscience based stuff and came across this: http://www.cisst.org/idea-highlight-B
03:39.38 poolio Sounds quite familiar :)
03:46.07 brlcad :)
03:52.32 yukonbob guesses the test for itcl has changed...
03:54.41 brlcad hrm, I don't recall it changing, though the tests for tcl have changed
03:56.30 yukonbob is also getting a "present but cannot be compiled" error w/ regex -- and this sounds familiar...
03:58.34 yukonbob tcl, tk found alright (if the changes you are talking about are the addition of 8.4, I noticed, and appreciate ;)
03:59.36 yukonbob checking for Itcl_Init in -litk33... yes
03:59.44 yukonbob :configure: error: *** incrTcl was disabled, yet no usable libitcl system library was found ***
04:00.24 yukonbob oh... nm... /me might see issue
04:00.42 yukonbob checking for Itcl_Init in -litcl3.3... no
04:12.06 brlcad huh
04:12.18 brlcad what's config.log say for that test
04:13.55 yukonbob is comparing to 7.10.4... 1 sec.
04:14.33 yukonbob checking for Itcl_Init in -litcl33... yes <--7.10.4
04:14.46 yukonbob checks log
04:18.16 yukonbob http://www.pastebin.ca/951231
04:18.49 yukonbob note -- I'm hacking the build a bit -- I've removed references to all I've got natively installed, as before.
04:20.25 yukonbob *"as before" == like I was building 7.10.4, which was successful

15:43.23 yukonbob ah.... reposted: http://www.pastebin.ca/951639
15:43.59 yukonbob it's obvious why it thinks it's failing -- I can do some legwork and see exactly what's going on...
16:33.15 *** join/#brlcad docelic (n=docelic@78.134.200.134)
17:04.46 brlcad that's freaky
17:04.57 brlcad a search for Itcl_InitStack yields your pastebin
17:05.13 brlcad on the first page
17:10.44 brlcad Ah!, I see at least part of the problem
17:12.23 brlcad gah, and now found the "real problem" .. someone was copy-paste happy
17:18.38 CIA-33 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30553 10/brlcad/trunk/configure.ac: ouch, someone had a copy-paste boo boo. don't set LIBITCL during the LIBITK tests...
17:19.02 brlcad yukonbob: see if that fixes it
18:12.14 *** join/#brlcad docelic (n=docelic@78.134.200.134)
19:42.27 *** join/#brlcad Gabi (n=gabi@201-213-197-242.net.prima.net.ar)
19:47.03 Gabi hello
19:47.50 Gabi Can someone uses brlcad to make plans?
19:56.15 brlcad Gabi: it depends what kind of plans and what workflow you have in mind
19:56.33 brlcad it can easily generate hidden line drawings that can be used to make plans
19:58.56 Gabi Is CAD for use on Linux, but not how to use Brlcad or if I will serve
20:00.19 Gabi I do not understand referred to with hidden line drawings
20:36.18 *** join/#brlcad fishe047 (n=fishe047@adsl-75-60-89-116.dsl.sndg02.sbcglobal.net)
21:15.50 alex_joni I think Gabi referred to 2d schematics
21:27.03 yukonbob returns from walk, see note from brlcad...
21:27.15 yukonbob q: is the src updated, or should I patch via svn?
21:27.47 yukonbob *src tarball on sourceforge
21:43.44 *** join/#brlcad fishe047 (n=fishe047@adsl-75-60-89-116.dsl.sndg02.sbcglobal.net)
22:08.37 yukonbob grabs latest svn, gets ready to test
23:04.59 brlcad yukonbob: yeah, source tarballs are never updated unless the problem is found immediately after upload (before the e-mail is sent)
23:05.22 brlcad should be able to get just configure.ac from svn, the patch is pretty small
23:06.08 brlcad Gabi: I mean something like this: http://brlcad.org/tmp/extractor.png
23:25.08 Gabi alex_joni and brlcad, I need to draw planes in 2d as autocad
23:38.38 brlcad ah, from a modeling perspective, that would be our "sketch" primitive
23:38.49 brlcad brl-cad does not provide strong drafting facilities
23:39.04 brlcad we're a solid modeling system, so 3D is the primary modeling approach
23:39.09 brlcad not 2D techniques
23:39.32 brlcad you can do them, make 2D sketches and extrude them, but it's not at all like what you're probably used to with autocad
23:40.47 Gabi OK, thanks. Do you know a program for 2d linux I can use?
23:42.00 brlcad qcad is probably closer to what you're thinking of
23:42.38 brlcad other than them and brl-cad, there's really not another option
23:54.49 brlcad almost gets gallery integrated into drupal .. but gives up for today
23:55.22 brlcad rather .. it does actually display the gallery in drupal now nicely, but the rewrites apparently aren't set up right
23:55.41 brlcad also cannot for the life of me seem to get captchas working with the contact module
