Subject: Gnumeric for commercial use
All,
I have a couple of questions regarding gnumeric that I was hoping
someone could help me with.
We are a software development company for the Signal Integrity
business that are considering using gnumeric as a report tool for
the spreadsheet generated bu our software. I see several levels of
integration here, starting with displaying .xls files as a
standalone tool we could possibly end up generating native .gnumeric
files with extensions and integrate gnumeric using CORBA. However,
I have some basic questions:
1. We can't make predictions where out software will be installed.
We'd like to ship gnumeric as part of the tool, so the location
of gnumeric and the libraries might differ. Is that a problem that
can be solved or is the root directory if gnome hardcoded in
gnumeric and/or it's libraries ? Forcing our customers to install
gnome might not be an acceptable solution.
2. I have compiled and installed gnumeric on our development system,
Solaris 2.7 (32-bit). I ran into problem running the application
on a Sun Blade100 (Solaris 8) with the Xserver in 8-bit mode. I had
to switch to 24-bit mode to make it work. This was mentioned on one of
the
mailing-lists as a problem quite a while ago, however the same problem
seems to exist on the latest gnome libraries. Is there work beeing done
to solve this ?
3. The excel.so module doesn't work :-( (showstopper right now). ld.so.1
complains about relocation errors. I think it's libiconv that it can't
find (the message is to long for the screen, I can't see the end of
the message). Though libiconv.so is in /usr/local/liv/libiconv.so and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH does include /usr/local/lib. This is what things look
like:
sunsrv gnome/gnumeric-0.67> nm
/data/gnome/lib/gnumeric/0.67-bonobo/plugins/excel/excel.so | grep
libiconv
[2023] | 0| 0|NOTY |GLOB |0 |UNDEF |libiconv
[2168] | 0| 0|NOTY |GLOB |0 |UNDEF |libiconv_close
[2057] | 0| 0|NOTY |GLOB |0 |UNDEF |libiconv_open
sunsrv gnome/gnumeric-0.67> nm /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so | grep
libiconv
/usr/local/lib/libiconv.so:
[1] | 0| 0|FILE |LOCL |0 |ABS
|.libs/libiconv.so.2.0.3
[741] | 720128| 4|OBJT |GLOB |0 |13 |_libiconv_version
[722] | 98752| 88|FUNC |GLOB |0 |8 |libiconv
[732] | 98840| 20|FUNC |GLOB |0 |8 |libiconv_close
[724] | 96956| 1796|FUNC |GLOB |0 |8 |libiconv_open
[747] | 98860| 224|FUNC |GLOB |0 |8 |libiconvctl
Looks like this should work, but it doesn't... Help !
Thanks
