Description Rex Dieter 2015-01-18 19:08:51 UTC
Weird, but as of pstoedit-3.70, -help output no longer lists any(most?) loadable drivers.

For example, f21's `pstoedit -help` output includes:
        plot-svg:               .svg:   svg  via GNU libplot    (/usr/lib64/pstoedit/libp2edrvlplot.so)


but, with pstoedit-3.70, the output after "Available formats" is quite short (and does not include plot-svg)

Available formats :
        psf:                    .fps:   Flattened PostScript (no curves)        (built-in)
-------------------------------------------
        ps:                     .spsc:  Simplified PostScript with curves       (built-in)
-------------------------------------------
        debug:                  .dbg:   for test purposes       (built-in)
-------------------------------------------
        dump:                   .dbg:   for test purposes (same as debug)       (built-in)
-------------------------------------------
        gs:                     .gs:    any device that Ghostscript provides - use gs:format, e.g. gs:pdfwrite  (built-in)
-------------------------------------------
        ps2ai:                  .ai:    Adobe Illustrator via ps2ai.ps of Ghostscript   (built-in)
-------------------------------------------


Interestingly, I tested building pstoedit-3.70 on my f21 box, and if I run pstoedit from the just-build sorce directory, it lists drivers fine,

$ pwd
/home/rdieter1/pkgs.fedoraproject.org/pstoedit/pstoedit-3.70/src

$ ./pstoedit -help
...
        plot-svg:               .svg:   svg via GNU libplot     (/home/rdieter1/pkgs.fedoraproject.org/pstoedit/pstoedit-3.70/src/.libs/libp2edrvlplot.so)
...

something funny is going on. :(



I only noticed because calligra checks for the pstoedit svg driver to conditionally build a filter that uses it.

> something funny is going on. :(

Yes, on my F21 machine:

# rpmbuild --recompile pstoedit-3.70-1.fc22.src.rpm

# ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/pstoedit-3.70/src/.libs/pstoedit -help
OK (all drivers listed)

# ~/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/pstoedit-3.70-1.fc21.x86_64/usr/bin/pstoedit -help
not OK (no drivers listed)

Comment 2 Jiri Popelka 2015-01-20 13:05:46 UTC
(In reply to Jiri Popelka from comment #1)
> # ~/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/pstoedit-3.70-1.fc21.x86_64/usr/bin/pstoedit -help
> not OK (no drivers listed)

But only when I have pstoedit-3.70-1.fc22.x86_64 installed.

Comment 3 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 17:07:01 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 4 OliverBurghard 2015-06-13 21:44:16 UTC
I had the same problem on fedora 22.

I found the following fix for opensuse:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/pstoedit/pstoedit-pkglibdir.patch?expand=1

Then the following solved it:

- pstoedit was installed into
/usr/bin/pstoedit

- and plugins into
/usr/lib64/pstoedit

- but plugins were searched in
/usr/lib/pstoedit


> cd /usr/lib
> sudo ln -s ../lib64/pstoedit pstoedit

(checking the output of 'pstoedit -help' worked instantly)
