Fred, Sorry you haven't had much success - I think the path I have led you along is going to get a little hairy, but lets give it a go. Please find attached a file containing depmod and py-compile which I am guessing are part of automake 1.5. If you just put these in the dia directory they should allow dia to compile; or download automake 1.5.. Note that you'll also need to look at the other message RE: Crash when opening file which I sent to the list today. As for unicode, just ensure you have linunicode and libunicode-devel installed (they come on the RedHat installation CDs). You may also need libxml-1.8.5 from ftp://xmlsoft.org/ if you don't already have it - just down load the rpm ( I had to force the install :-( By the way, given that this is not a stable release we don't recommend installing it - just run app/run_dia.sh Let me know if you have any problems getting this to work. Regards, Rob.

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). Ihave scalingset 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: Ithought I couldcopy and paste the objects from one dia doc to another -that doesn'twork...). 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!
