hi,
I installed inkscape on my Indigo 2. I see these errors.


tardis mnorton-82% inkscape


3471:inkscape: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in inkscape: PL_stack_base


3471:inkscape: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in inkscape: PL_stack_sp


3471:inkscape: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in inkscape: PL_markstack_ptr


3471:inkscape: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in inkscape: PL_sv_yes


3471:inkscape: rld: Fatal Error: this executable has unresolvable symbols

Do I need to install other packages or did I need more arguments to fire it up?

thanks.

I downloaded nekoware bluefish. Are there plugins for <nekoware> bluefish for Tcl and PHP?

thanks.

Looks like perl stuff. I think perl is missing from the Inkscape dependencies. Perl is included in Inkscape for the addin support. I am not sure if the new perl package would be good for the pretty old Inkscape.

sry for resurecting this old post, but does someone get this working ? I get the same error on Indy linke mnorton, are this perl dependencies ? or some environment variables that must be set ? There is an new version of Inkscape ou there but i doubt is compiled on irix..

I believe it's because inkscape couldn't find the libperl.so it expects. Do you have neko_perl installed? Is libperl.so a part of the installation? You can check it by using 'showfiles' command.

hi, thank you for your time and answer, i get this with showfiles:

Code: Select all


indy# showfiles | grep libperl.so


f  1135 2231916 fw_perl.sw32.perl       usr/freeware/lib/perl5/5.6.1/irix-n32/CORE/libperl.so


l     0     0 eoe.sw.gifts_perl       usr/lib32/libperl.so


f 50775 1195048 eoe.sw.gifts_perl       usr/lib32/libperl.so.4.4


f 58759 1216368 eoe.sw.gifts_perl       usr/lib32/libperl.so.5.4.5


l     0     0 neko_inkscape_gcc.sw.eoe   usr/nekoware/lib/libperl.so


f  9202 1901540 neko_perl.sw.common     usr/nekoware/lib/perl5/5.8.8/irix-n32/CORE/libperl.so


f 58454 2005116 neko_perl.sw.thread     usr/nekoware/lib/perl5/5.8.8/irix-n32-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so

i have neko_perl installed still get the same error. Maybe the problem is something like this: http://www.mail-archive.com/modperl@apa ... 34266.html here says that the programs not knows which perl installation to use ? i will try to remove the freeware version of perl.

cheers

You might also want to remove eoe.sw.gifts_perl since that is another non nekoware Perl it sees.

Looks like Inkscape needs some rld paths re-set.

I added the following soft link while I built and packaged inkscape_gcc. It was a quick and dirty fix to enable perl script support in Inkscape. I am sure it was pointing to an old version of libperl.so. It might help to modify this link to point to the correct one (usr/nekoware/lib/perl5/5.8.8/irix-n32/CORE/libperl.so) but I don't have a box to try it now.

You can try to update the soft symbolic link. If this does not work then inkscape need to be rebuilt...

Code: Select all


ln -s /usr/nekoware/lib/perl5/5.8.8/irix-n32/CORE/libperl.so /usr/nekoware/lib/libperl.so

Hi, the trick with the symbolic link worked

the app starts to load, the main app window appears, but at some point it crashez. I dunno is this because of Indy [256Mb] or something ... i will try later on Indigo2 here is the result:

indy# ./inkscape
** Message: Beginning icon prerendering
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): St9bad_alloc

Emergency save activated!
Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now.
If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at http://www.inkscape.org
with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.

***MEMORY-ERROR***: inkscape[3156]: GSlice: failed to allocate 248 bytes (alignm
ent: 256): Not enough space

indy#

well, not enough mem on Indy, but Indigo2 ran it ok

seems a nice tool for fine vector drawings, it`s not illustrator but what a hell it`s worth a try - iz free ... quite slicky on Indigo2, Octanez and up should fly ...

One more thing: related to this Inkscape wiki index: http://wiki.inkscape.org//ReleaseNotes045 the version 045 can also be built on Irix, quote: "Thanks to patches submitted by users of our community, Inkscape can now be built on SGI IRIX 6.5.28, gcc 3.4.0 systems and on Tru64 systems."
