RE: Creating output

["Young, Robert" <Robert Young dsto defence gov au>]

This is a known problem and has been fixed in CVS. Sadly there hasn't been a
'stable' release recently, but CVS does work OK. For help in compiling etc
PLEASE read recent posts to the list - most people have the same problems
with libraries, etc.

If you don't want to touch the actual CVS, or like me have firewalls to
contend with, you can get the latest CVS snapshot at
http://www.crans.org/~chepelov/dia/snapshots
Just do the usual:
tar -xzvf <filename>
./configure (with any options e.g. --prefix=/usr for RH7.2., --enable-gnome
if you want)
make 
make install (if you want)

To run it without installing type app/run_dia.sh

You'll probably want to delete the offending lines in the XML as per your
email.

Please let us know if this doesn't fix your printing problem.

Regards,
Rob.
