[gentoo-dev] grace not working

[Tibor Rudas]

hi all

/usr/portage/media-gfx/grace/grace-5.1.5.ebuild does emerge
all right but when I try to start 'xmgrace' I get:

scanFontDBase(): Font Database File not found
T1_InitLib(): Fatal error scanning Font Database File
--> Broken or incomplete installation - read the FAQ!

:(

regards

tigor

Hi

I moved Grace from /opt to /usr, and because there was still
older versions floating around, I had to change the name
of the file that sets GRACE_HOME in /etc/env.d.  With the last
update however, the developer forgot to create a 10grace-5.1.5.

I will fix this asap, sorry.

I now figured out that GRACE_HOME is set in /etc/profile.env (I actually
don't know how it gets there from /etc/env.d but I'm ready to learn :) but
historically most of our users are csh users and so this doesn't get sourced 
:(

--> I must generate an according csh-like script and source that :)

This issue has come up before ...

I do not use csh myself, and due to time considerations,
would appreciate it if you could give me a short howto on
how csh and tcsh (if you know ..) does things.  Meaning
what it use in the place of /etc/profile, the synstax 
defferences, etc.

I can then, if Daniel agree, add the funtionality to env-update to also
update things for csh, etc.

Responce from users who use shells that deviate from csh and
bash will be appreciated.

I'm a big tcsh user so I can help.

/etc/csh.cshrc  ==  /etc/profile
/etc/csh.login  ==  /etc/bashrc (if such a thing exists for bash)
/etc/csh.logout

Like profile, you should keep the csh.cshrc, csh.login, and csh.logout files
free of tcsh specific commands lest someone uses standard csh.  This is
generally not a problem since most of what you set in these files are env
vars and paths.

I generally put stuff like keychain and my mh setup in ~/.login so that it
only executes when I get an actual login.  Otherwise, it tries to start
keychain when I scp to that host.  Paths and umask are pretty much the only
thing I put in cshrc

Instead of export you have setenv.

setenv VAR 'value'  ie.  setenv CVSROOT 'kabau@cvs.gentoo.org:/home/cvs'

Paths are generally set like so:

set path = (/bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin)

My paths look like so:

set binpath = (/bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin)
set ccspath = (/usr/ccs/bin)
set sbinpath = (/sbin /usr/sbin /usr/local/sbin)
set userpath = ($HOME/bin)
set xpath = (/usr/X11R6/bin)
set path = ($binpath $sbinpath $xpath)

if ($OSTYPE == "solaris") then
    set path = ($path $ccspath)
endif

foreach HOSTNAME ("case" "thedrag" "ashpool")
    if ($HOST == $HOSTNAME) then
        set path = ($path $gnomepath $kdepath)
    endif
end

set path = ($path $userpath)

I didn't realize that I was missing /etc/env.d functionality until Tibor
sent an email about it.  I'll be happy to help with or do the tcsh
functionality in env-update.  I didn't even realize that we don't install
system-wide startup files for (t)csh users.

Tigor,
Azarah and I have created a patch to env-update and system csh startup
files.  If you want them, drop me a note privately.  Otherwise, I'm going
to see if drobbins will put them into the system.

Tigor and all tcsh users,
I have created sys-shells/tcsh-6.10-r2.ebuild that installs system-wide
startup scripts for (t)csh that support env-update.  Also, drobbins has
commited portage-1.7.6 which adds (t)csh support to env-update.  They
should be available on rsync in about 30 minutes (18:10 CST).
