OK, So I grabbed dia-CVS-20011015-0723.tar.gz (from the url you gave me) which I presume is 10/15's cvs snapshot, correct? When I tar xzvf'ed it. It unrolled everything and I noticed two dangling links: py-compile ->/usr/share/automake/py-compile and depcomp -> /usr/share/automake/depcomp The build didn't work because of the missing depcomp - no surprises there. I don't do alot of compiling on this box, just stuff like ALSA and gaim; but am I supposed to have these things? If so, where do I get them? Also, ./configure mentioned something about unicode support - which I prefer. Where do i get the needed libs for this. Thanks for your help. -Fred -----Original Message----- From: Young, Robert Sent: Tue 10/16/2001 8:21 PM To: 'dia-list gnome org' Cc: Subject: RE: Newbie: Lost my fit-to-page lines??
Fred Welland [mailto:fwelland intelixinc com] wrote In efforts to completely switch to Linux, I am giving dia a try. I have made a couple of diagrams and I wish to print them. The first few drafts printed OK (directly printing to lpr). But after a few open/close operations on the dia files (you know, making some small edits after printing), the blue print guidelines dissappeared and printing no loger works (looks like I get a ps error from the printer). I have scaling set to 1x1 pages. It appears that if I start a brand new document, I get the printing guides back, and I think printing will be OK. (BTW: I thought I could copy and paste the objects from one dia doc to another - that doesn't work...). My Env is: RH 7.0; Xmian Gnome 1.2; dia 0.88.1 (Toshiba tecra 8100); . My printer is a lexmark something other that works fine from other apps (mozilla, AbiWord, gnumeric).
Are you able to try the latest CVS version? If you can't access the CVS then download the latest snapshot from http://www.crans.org/~chepelov/dia/snapshots A lot has happened since 0.88.1 and I am confident this should allow you to print - in 0.88.1 some objects were getting erroneous bounding boxes and so lots of things got stuffed up. If this doesn't help, or if you are unable to get a CVS copy or snapshot to compile, please let us know. Thank you for trying dia!
