I'm currently having problems trying to get xfig3.2.5_1 not to crash on my imac. I have followed the instructions of Stefan (http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-August/ 005138.html) where by I remove xfig's the dependency on Xaw by doing the following:
sudo port uninstall xfig sudo port clean xfig sudo port -v extract xfig cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ ports/graphics/xfig/work/xfig.3.2.5/ sudo vi Imakefile # search for: #define XAW3D # comment (XCOMM) the just found line
I then remove the line port:Xaw3d in the file /opt/local/var/ macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/graphics/xfig/ Portfile
sudo port -v install xfig
I get the following messages:
Warning: violation by /etc Warning: violation by /usr Warning: xfig violates the layout of the ports-filesystems! Warning: Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it will be an error in future releases! ---> Installing xfig 3.2.5_1 ---> Activating xfig 3.2.5_1 ---> Cleaning xfig ---> Removing build directory for xfig
When I open xfig and then try and use the file menu it crashes and gives the following error
color = '#ffcccc' xfig3.2.5: SIGBUS signal trapped xfig: figure empty or not modified - exiting Abort
Any ideas what may be going on?
Xfig crash when accessing the menubar is a long-reported problem here: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12044 Please address your concerns to the maintainer of the port.
