clinking any buttons in prop window cause xschem cashing in v3.4.5 #150

Closed haoiyang closed 7 months ago

Hi All:

I met an issue. When I tried to edit a symbol's property. I pressed "q" and edited in the prop windows. Then, I clicked to save the modification, and xschem crashed. I tried to click other buttons on the prop windows, and all buttons caused xschem to crash. Could anyone help me to resolve this issue?

Thank you.

Can you send the symbol you were trying to edit? What did you type in the dialog box? I tried to do that throwing any wrong and random data and I can't reproduce the issue.

Hi Stefan:

Thank you. I opened a sch or a symbol view. Then I pressed "q" and clicked any button on it. Then, xschem crashed. When I did "configure" the source code, It showed something not found. ######### Found best fit 16 bytes wide float: long double Checking for cairo...

Thank you sincerely.

Please send the complete scconfig/config.log file. what system are you using? ensure no xschem package is installed (sudo apt purge xschem) in the xschem-3.4.5/src directory run ./xschem instead of xschem Also go to this manual page and install all the required packages.

Hi Stefan:

Thank you very much! I follow this "in the xschem-3.4.5/src directory run ./xschem instead of xschem" Then, the issue is resolved, and no error shows anymore.

Thank you.

If xschem fails and ./xschem is OK it means you have an older xschem version installed on the system. Try which xschem to see where it is located. You should remove the old installation, typically this is done with sudo apt purge xschem

StefanSchippers commented 7 months ago

also running ./xschem inside the src/ directory is usually done only for testing the program. After compiling xschem you should do a [sudo] make install to install xschem on the system.
