It is missing the dependency for motif. In the mean time it is easy to compile your own version. On my F27 install I just did the following: 1. dnf install motif motif-devel 2. download grace 5.1.25, untar and ./configure, make, make install [If the packager compiled grace with Lesstif you might also try just installing that with dnf and seeing if that fixes your problem.] I found an other reason.
grace-5.1.25-9.fc27.x86_64.rpm
needs
urw-fonts-2.4-24.fc27.noarch.rpm
BUT
In FC27 it was replaced by
urw-base35-fonts-20170801-2.fc27.noarch
what works with evince, okular, gs...
Thus if we try install urw-fonts dnf told:
problem with installed package urw-base35-standard-symbols-ps-fonts-20170801-2.fc27.noarch
OK let us
>dnf install urw-fonts-2.4-24.fc27.noarch.rpm --allowerasing
install:
urw-fonts noarch 3:2.4-24.fc27 @commandlin
delete:
evince x86_64 3.26.0-1.fc27 @fedora 9.4 M
evince-djvu x86_64 3.26.0-1.fc27 @fedora 55 k
evince-libs x86_64 3.26.0-1.fc27 @fedora 1.2 M
ghostscript-core x86_64 9.20-14.fc27 @fedora 22 M
libspectre x86_64 0.2.8-4.fc27 @fedora 88 k
okular x86_64 17.08.1-1.fc27 @fedora 5.2 M
okular-part x86_64 17.08.1-1.fc27 @fedora 7.6 M
urw-base35-bookman-fonts noarch 20170801-2.fc27 @fedora 1.0 M
urw-base35-fonts noarch 20170801-2.fc27 @fedora 5.3 k
urw-base35-gothic-fonts noarch 20170801-2.fc27 @fedora 858 k
urw-base35-nimbus-mono-ps-fonts noarch 20170801-2.fc27 @fedora 744 k
urw-base35-nimbus-roman-fonts noarch 20170801-2.fc27 @fedora 996 k
urw-base35-nimbus-sans-fonts noarch 20170801-2.fc27 @fedora 881 k
urw-base35-standard-symbols-ps-fonts noarch 20170801-2.fc27 @fedora 44 k
after SUCH installation grace (fc27) does work indeed!
But we lost okular, evince..
Thus the main conflict is urw-fonts !
Sure if we will compile grace on the local PC the troubles disappear.
===Sergei
Sergei is correct. This has been reported before (Bug 1502175). In the current version of xmgrace the link /usr/share/grace/fonts/type1 is broken. You can also get grace working if you download the source and unpack it and repoint the broken link to the fonts included with the source package. I am also having problem in compiling doc files (sgml). I can install this from source, that is easy. But it looks like the packager is no longer maintaining the process (the last built is for f23 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=grace) I am ready to pack and maintain xmgrace, but i need some help in cleaning spec file. Nothing new ? to work around that i did build a compatibility package on copr https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/baoboa/urw-fonts-compat/ (In reply to baoboa from comment #5) > Nothing new ? > > to work around that i did build a compatibility package on copr > > https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/baoboa/urw-fonts-compat/ Thanks, this works for me. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1502175 *** |
