RE: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf quits without converting or warning at 'Generating info structure'

Hey Joseph,

I think all dependencies are ok now, though I'm a bit confused about what
the 'linux-gate.so.1' dependency is, since by the looks of it, it doesn't
point anywhere.

ldd /usr/local/bin/pdf2swf
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00beb000)
        libmp3lame.so.0 => /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 (0x00cbf000)
        libungif.so.4 => /usr/lib/libungif.so.4 (0x00dbf000)
        libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x00c01000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00755000)
        libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x006cd000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00991000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00519000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x0079d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x003b1000)
        libgif.so.4 => /usr/lib/libgif.so.4 (0x002bd000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0038e000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00110000)
        libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0x003ac000)
        libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0x00213000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x004f9000)

What I noticed now though, is that the output generated by my php-script,
doesn't show the error which is generated by pdf2swf. When I execute pdf2swf
in the shell, it shows:

address@hidden eric]# pdf2swf -vv -T9 LB5a_Compl_FC.pdf -o
/eric/pdf2swftest/LB5a_Compl_FC.swf
VERBOSE setting parameter flashversion to "9"
VERBOSE Generating info structure for page 1
VERBOSE Generating info structure for page 2
Floating point exception

I checked the mailinglist, and I found one similar problem. I'll reply to
that thread too :)

Hi Eric,
So you have quite a few dependencies missing:

1. Install libjpeg and libjpeg-devel
2. Install giflib, giflib-utils and giflib-devel
3. Install libXdmcp and libXdmcp-devel
4. Install libXau and libXau-devel
5. Install libX11 and libX11-devel

I have a headless server.  The libraries above are required to process 
images effectively.

After you're done, download swftools 0.9.0 and install again.

Make sure your ldd looks like mine:

     libungif.so.4 => /usr/lib64/libungif.so.4 (0x00002ad1ef8a0000)
     libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib64/libjpeg.so.62 (0x00000038f7200000)
     libz.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00000038f1a00000)
     libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6 (0x000000322ea00000)
     libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002ad1efaa2000)
     libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00002ad1efda2000)
     libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002ad1f0026000)
     libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002ad1f0234000)
     libgif.so.4 => /usr/lib64/libgif.so.4 (0x00002ad1f058b000)
     /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002ad1ef683000)
     libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 (0x00002ad1f0794000)
     libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXau.so.6 (0x00000038fd200000)
     libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXdmcp.so.6 (0x00000038f9600000)
     libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00002ad1f0aa1000)


Then get back to me.  Some of these maybe more than you need, but better 
safe than sorry.

Thanks,
Joseph
