Description Aaron Gaudio 2004-05-22 23:43:50 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040510 Galeon/1.3.12

Description of problem:
When trying to insert financial functions (possibly others), 
in particular, the 'pv' function, no documentation is available
in the dialog. If you insert the function into your sheet, you
get the message "Function implementation not available" in the cell.

In the terminal, the following error is printed:

E Unable to open module file
"/usr/lib/gnumeric/1.2.8-bonobo/plugins/fn-financial/plugin.la".
  E /usr/lib/gnumeric/1.2.8-bonobo/plugins/fn-financial/plugin.so:
undefined symbol: get_mduration



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnumeric-1.2.8-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open gnumeric, select a cell, go to Insert->Function... menu item.
2.Select Finance in the Category listbox.
3.Select 'pv' (or many/any others) in the Function listbox.
    

Actual Results:  No documentation is available
in the dialog. If you insert the function into your sheet, you
get the message "Function implementation not available" in the cell.

In the terminal, the following error is printed:

E Unable to open module file
"/usr/lib/gnumeric/1.2.8-bonobo/plugins/fn-financial/plugin.la".
  E /usr/lib/gnumeric/1.2.8-bonobo/plugins/fn-financial/plugin.so:
undefined symbol: get_mduration


Expected Results:  Documentation on the pv function and its arguments
appear in the Description field. 'pv' can be used as normal in the
spreadsheet, and no error on the terminal seen.

Additional info:

Rebuilding the src rpm for gnumeric did not help.

Comment 1 Chris Winne 2004-07-01 05:30:32 UTC
I did find the following thread in googlegroups (
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=get_mduration&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=1JO8j-20C-7%40gated-at.bofh.it&rnum=1
) but no resolution specified.  A search of http://bugzilla.gnome.org
yielded no results.

Comment 2 Chris Winne 2004-07-01 06:16:05 UTC
I do note that the current development version (6/15/2004 date on
mirror) gnumeric-1.2.12-2.i386.rpm appears to not have this problem. 

Comment 3 Aaron Gaudio 2004-07-01 22:12:18 UTC
gnumeric 1.3 (built from gnumeric devel sources) also does not have
this problem.

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2004-07-28 13:47:34 UTC
verfied working with 1.2.13 as pushed to FC3, 1.2.12 should also be ok,
see also issue 126374
