RE: Newbie: Lost my fit-to-page lines??

["Fred Welland" <fwelland intelixinc com>]

OK,

So I grabbed dia-CVS-20011015-0723.tar.gz (from the url you gave me)
which I presume is 10/15's cvs snapshot, correct? When I tar xzvf'ed it.
It unrolled everything and I noticed two dangling links:

py-compile ->/usr/share/automake/py-compile

and 

depcomp -> /usr/share/automake/depcomp


The build didn't work because of the  missing depcomp - no surprises
there.

I don't do alot of compiling on this box, just stuff like ALSA and gaim;
but am I supposed to have these things?  If so, where do I get them?
Also, ./configure mentioned something about unicode support - which I
prefer.  Where do i get the needed libs for this.

Thanks for your help.

-Fred

Are you able to try the latest CVS version? If you can't access the CVS
then
download the latest snapshot from
http://www.crans.org/~chepelov/dia/snapshots

A lot has happened since 0.88.1 and I am confident this should allow you
to
print - in 0.88.1 some objects were getting erroneous bounding boxes and
so
lots of things got stuffed up.

If this doesn't help, or if you are unable to get a CVS copy or snapshot
to
compile, please let us know.

Thank you for trying dia!

Regards,
Rob.
