03:47.51 brlcad ``Erik: shouldn't be giving any off-by errors any more
03:48.43 brlcad at least, you'll have to be more specific
03:49.19 brlcad I do think that the solids regression is going to need to have one pixel updated due to increased root solver precision, but it is exactly one pixel
03:50.29 brlcad I did walk that one through a debugger to understand it a bit more a few weeks ago
04:01.47 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54851 (brlcad/trunk/regress/solidspix.asc brlcad/trunk/src/libbn/poly.c): restore the increased M_SQRT3 precision change that carl had made to the polynomial root solver, which broke the solids regression test. walking the math through the debugger showed that a slightly different root was being returned causing a ray to intersect the massively distorted eto in the solids regression at enough of
04:01.49 Notify a delta to cause different light computations. this resulted in a single pixel off-by-many, which we also update in the reference image so that it reflects the new more accurate answer. while we're at it, increase the precision of 1/3 and 1/27th by computing them during static init.

04:30.03 Notify 03BRL-CAD:brlcad * 54852 brlcad/trunk/TODO: push second iteration tasks further back since we're way off track and release is the priority. richard noticed massive memory leakage in mged blowing out bu_malloc when drawing large geometry, so need to sort that out asap. push the rest back.

09:50.09 jordisayol hello
09:51.07 jordisayol with the last commit 54852, rtwizard returns this error http://paste.debian.net/243894/

12:35.38 brlcad starseeker: presumably related to the tcl/tk upgrade?

16:05.21 starseeker brlcad: probably - I think I got that bit, but I'm not sure what's up with libpng...
16:06.05 starseeker oh, you mean rtwizard
16:06.11 starseeker checks...
16:08.10 starseeker that looks more like a conflict between built and installed tcl/tk
16:08.52 starseeker when jordisayol comes back, we need to ask him the details of what he did - clearing the install directory, for example?
16:09.33 starseeker it's clearly not happy about the versions, but unless he's got a system install of 8.5.9 lurking somewhere that smells like stale files of some kind
16:11.19 starseeker let me build here and I'll check rtwizard
16:12.47 starseeker brlcad: sorry, guess that was probably not the best time to do that update...

18:43.51 Notify 03BRL-CAD:starseeker * 54853 (brlcad/trunk/src/other/tcl/CMakeLists.txt brlcad/trunk/src/other/tk/CMakeLists.txt): Update CMake's variables for Tcl/Tk versions
18:46.02 starseeker note to self - grepping for tcl/tk version number in src code is insufficient...
18:46.23 starseeker jordisayol: give it a go
18:47.21 jordisayol starseeker: ok.
19:11.09 jordisayol starseeker: fixed! many thanks! :-)
