Re: PSPP 0.8.4

[Matthias Faeth]

Yes Adam is in the loop (see address list) but hasn't answered yet, it is still night in Australia.

I wanted to avoid building it for myself for this is something I truely hate in Linux (figuring out all the missing dependencies is a nuisiance).

However, if Adam does not help, I'll build it and report back on this.

     Dear all

     I have just installed version 0.8.4 by using  ppa:adamzammit/pspp on my
     ubuntu 14.04 amd64 machine.

     Trying to open an existing original SPSS .sav file results in a crash (yes
     I tried it with several different ones).

     When invoking psppire from the command line I can see the following error
     messages

     "(psppire:30696): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_cairo_create: assertion
     'GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' failed

     (psppire:30696): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_cairo_create: assertion
     'GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' failed
     Speicherzugriffsfehler"

     "Speicherzugriffsfehler" means something like  "memory access violation"

     Anybody an idea why the package is not working for me?


it it hard to say, but perhaps this is a problem with that package.  Have you
contacted Adam Zammit about it?  Do you get the same problems if you build
from source instead of using Zammit's pacakge?
