no x11 device available #5

Closed schplurtz closed 10 months ago

schplurtz commented 11 months ago

Hi, on macos ventura 13.6.1 intel (that mac does not support macos 14) there is no x11 device at all.

I installed with 

brew install johnhcc/gs-x11/ghostscript-x11

It took a few minutes to install. Then, when I launch $(brew --prefix)/opt/ghostscript-x11/bin/gs -h gs does not list any x11 device. Here is the relevant part of the output (full result at the end)

So no X11. I expected to see some x11 devices such as x11, x11alpha and the like. These are present on a Linux box:

Also, running $(brew --prefix)/opt/ghostscript-x11/bin/gs does not open any X11 window.

Thanks for the report. That's a new one for me. Yes, you should definitely be seeing x11 with $(brew --prefix)/opt/ghostscript-x11/bin/gs -h. Do you have any other homebrew-installed apps that use X11, and does X11 work with them?

schplurtz commented 11 months ago

No. I have no x11 formula or cask installed. Only latest xquartz.

Here is the current list of my installed formulae, if that matters.

I installed grace and feh they both use x11. Grace does contact the X11 server but crashes almost instantly for some weird reason. Sometime I can see that it opens a window, but it stays just a few ms, then it crashes. feh (image viewer) works. It can display a png of a screenshot I just made.

Here is the grace error message

$ xmgrace
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  12 (X_ConfigureWindow)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  2135
  Current serial number in output stream:  2136

I'm going to reinstall ghostscript, and I'll let you know the result.

schplurtz commented 11 months ago

Recompiling while grace and feh are installed solved my issue. I removed ghostscript, grace and feh and their dependencies, then reinstalled grace alone and reinstalled ghostscript. And it worked !

It seems you missed a few dependencies. but it seems these are only build dependencies, not needed at runtime.

  1. install grace 
    ==> Fetching dependencies for grace: isl, mpfr, libmpc, gcc, hwloc, pmix, open-mpi, fftw, libice, libsm, libxt, libxmu, libxp, libxpm, libxft, xbitmaps and openmotif
  2. install ghostscript-x11

  3. remove grace and deps. I use rmtree for that

    $ brew rmtree grace

  4. $(brew --prefix)/opt/ghostscript-x11/bin/gs still works like a charm.

Hope this helps.

johnhcc commented 10 months ago

Thanks @schplurtz! I was able to reproduce this on an M2.

I think the critical missing library that your install/uninstall procedure revealed was libxt (or one of its dependencies). I plan to update the ghostscript-x11 formula accordingly. If this breaks anything for you, please let me know.
