Subj: most recent xfig-3.2.5b-2 broken.
2012.02.25.20:19:51 UT
cygwin-x folks,
I mis-typed at the end of my message.
I should say something like: "hope that
XFIG developers can reproduce and find the
problem".
I would not want to burden the xorg-guys
with trivial stuff like this. I realize that
not many folks use clunky old things like xfig
anymore; but if it works, I keep it. My letter
will perhaps only help other dinosaurs like me,
should they have this problem with xfig.

Subj: most recent xfig-3.2.5b-2 broken.
2012.02.25.19:18:18 UT
Hey cygwin-x folks,
I just installed the xorg-server-1.11.4-5, and I
thought that some aspect of its configuration may have
broken the xfig program on my box. This however was
untrue. When I reverted to xorg-server-1.11.4-1, the
xfig crashed on startup as before, and I concluded
that it must be a difficulty only with xfig.
I am running on a Dell Optiplex 380 with an Intel
Core2 E7500 2.93 GHz CPU, 4.0 GBt DRAM and an 150 GBt
Western Digital HD. The OS is WinXp Pro. 32-bit, and
is fully up-to-date. My CygWin installation is 1.7.10-1,
the xorg-server is 1.11.4-5, and everything in that
sub-system is up-to-date.
The xfig is a minor part of the things I use,
but I do like to have it around. It fails to start,
issuing the messages:
> gbarrick@TS207 ~/figs/sqaccel
> $ xfig sqposn.fig &
> [1] 2904
>
> gbarrick@TS207 ~/figs/sqaccel
> $ /usr/bin/xfig.exe: error while loading shared libraries:
> ?: cannot open shared object file:
> No such file or directory
I ran the cygcheck on the xfig package, but it claims
that none of the required resources or libraries are
missing.
> $ cygcheck xfig
> Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe
> Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe

> D:\cygwin\bin\cygjpeg-7.dll
> D:\cygwin\bin\cygpng12.dll
> D:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll
I had reason to suspect that it was the
xorg-server because new versions had recently
been installed. When I reverted to the previous
xorg-server-1.11.4-1, everything was not O.K.
The xfig still has the problem.
I next ran the experiment where I installed
up to the xorg-server-1.11.4-5, but reverted to
xfig-3.2.5b-1. I set back the three xfig packages to:
xfig-3.2.5b-1
xfig-lib-3.2.5b-1
transfig-3.2.5c-1
Once this was done, the xfig functions again. Its
cygcheck now reads:
> gbarrick@TS207 ~/figs/sqaccel
> $ cygcheck xfig
> Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe
> Found: D:\cygwin\bin\xfig.exe

> D:\cygwin\bin\cygjpeg-7.dll
> D:\cygwin\bin\cygpng12.dll
> D:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll
I see no difference in the cygcheck output, and
so I guess that my only criticism is that the
newer xfig-3.2.5b-2 fails to run, outputting the
complaint about a missing *.so file. A visual
scan of my /var/log/xwin/Xwin.0.log did not reveal
anything unusual.
I hope that this report contains enough detail
for the xorg developers to reproduce and find the
problem. If anything more is required, just ask me.

just installed xfig on latest xorg-srver 1.11.4-5
and it works.
You have likely an old version of one of the several
dll's.
Dependency Walker can help to find the wrong dll
http://www.dependencywalker.com/
or you can use strace

Subj: most recent xfig-3.2.5b-2 broken.
2012.02.27.12:45:48 UT
Hi Marco (and cygwin-x folks),
I will try the experiment that I think
you are suggesting. If the .so is part of an
older .dll, then a reinstallation of the
packages should clear up the problem. I
have not yet done that however because the
same difficulty is emerging with the octave-3.6
that was released over the weekend.
The message that I get is:
gbarrick@TS207 ~/jpegs/figs
$ octave
/usr/bin/octave-3.6.1.exe: error while loading shared libraries:
?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The cygcheck for octave indicates no particular
problem:
gbarrick@TS207 ~/jpegs/figs
$ cygcheck octave
Found: D:\cygwin\bin\octave
Found: D:\cygwin\bin\octave
-> D:\cygwin\bin\octave-3.6.1.exe

D:\cygwin\bin\cygbz2-1.dll
D:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
D:\cygwin\bin\cyghdf5-7.dll
I also examined the file /var/log/setup.log.full,
but saw only messages that looked like successful
installations of the many hundreds of files in the
octave packages, plus a few messages from "io_stream:mklink"
that seem to indicate successful creation of links.
Is there anything that I might do to narrow
down the .so or .dll that is causing the problem?
It seems quite odd, because this is a new installation
of cygwin (about three weeks old), and I do not think
that it has had time to get mucked up with old .dll's
and such.

try this

Subj: most recent xfig-3.2.5b-2 broken.
Hi Marco,
I ran strace on the octave-3.6.1.exe and
got an empty message file. However, that strace
terminated with a WinXP error alert box that
said:
octav-3.6.1.exe - Unable to locate component
[
[ This application has failed to start because
[ D:\Program Files\AlwilSoftware\Avast\snxhk.dll
[ was not found. Re-installing the application
[ may fix this problem.
[
I guess that something is seriously screwed-up if
my octave is trying to access a .dll from my
antivirus program. I did install a program
upgrade from Avast on Friday. It seems to be
a bit more intrusive than the previous versions.
However, my upgrade to octave-3.6.1 did not occur
until this morning.

of course, octave process never started :-)

Hi George,
probably octave is just the victim of Avast
I suspect the your antivirus is screwing up cygwin in general.
Probably it tries to inject a dll in the dll chain
does "D:\Program Files\AlwilSoftware\Avast\snxhk.dll" exist ?

Marco

Hi Marco,
Yes. The file exists, but it is in the sub-directory
Avast5 of the AlwilSoftware directory. Apparently their
installer does not make everything perfect when it upgrades
from a previous version.
Should I then rip out both cygwin and the antivirus,
then run a re-install of antivirus first, then the cygwin?
Forgive me, install and re-install pretty much summarizes
my suite of computing skills. When all that I have is a
hammer, everything looks to me like a "hammer" kind of
job.

I see no reason to re-install cygwin. It is purely a Avast problem

Subj: most recent xfig-3.5.2b-2 broken.

Hi Marco,
I went and re-installed my antivirus so that its
files would be stored in a better directory. That has
fixed my problem, as the av still slips .dll's into the
execution stack when I run cygwin processes, but now
my system knows where everything can be found.
I tested the new octave. At first it crashed
when I asked for plots, but then I did the:
rebaseall -v
from the ash-shell, and everything works. Both the
latest xfig and the new octave-3.6.1 work as they
should. Thank you for your patience.

Hi George
if you see fork problem on the *.oct dll's of octave
please try
"rebaseall -s 'dll|so|oct'"
