Hi,
first please consider the attached patch required for a correct VPATH
build.
I'll look at the patch this weekend, currently I do not have time for this.
/usr/local/X11R6/share/gv/gv_system.ad
/usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/GV
belongs to an older version of gv and cannot be used.
Please remove or update the outdated file.
Quite probably your /usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/GV is too old.
Running gv-update-userconfig /usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/GV
should help
by removing all incompatible resources.
Strange, assuming you may have set the environment variable
"XUSERFILESEARCHPATH" would explain that. Have you set it? If so, What
value?
I'll investoigate this weekend, too.
One of the files
This is misleading (a non-root user can certainly not update files under
/usr/local).
Certainly true. Checking the file named for write access would help to
avoid such messages.
Moreover "gv-update-userconfig" fails with
Cannot open $HOME/.gv for reading.
If there is no other problem in the system, in these cases
"gv-update-userconfig" should not be necessary at all.
Thus the user has to "touch ~/.gv; gv-update-userconfig", but this is
by no
means obvious.
Please fix gv such that the program correctly diagnoses that ~/.gv is
missing (and creates such a file). In addition gv-update-userconfig
should
also create this file when missing.
Well, I can run GNU gv 3.7.1 without problems having no ~/.gv at all.
Have you
