From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050827 Fedora/1.1-0.2.8.deerpark.alpha2 Firefox/1.0+ Description of problem: toolbar application cannot be started because it requires another erlang application - gs, which is not built. gs uses tcl, and it looks like that build environment doesn't have tcl-devel installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): erlang-R10B-6.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start erlang shell (erl) 2.try to start toolbar application - toolbar:start(). Actual Results: error description displayed Expected Results: New toolbar window with buttons should pop up. Additional info:
Thanks. A new build is in the making. Close this bug if it works as expected.
The erlang-R10B-6.4 i386 version (downloaded Oct 5) also seems to have a similar problem. It is missing the compiled versions of gs, gstk and various source (.erl) files. It is also missing the java_src for the idl compiler (ic), the java source for jinterface, a couple of files from the orber (examples for java access) and several files from the ssl-3.0.7 library. It looks like the compile failed because there is a crash.dump file which got included in the binary.rpm. /usr/lib/erlang/releases/R10B/erl_crash.dump The date on this file is Oct 1 at 3:37. If I compile from the source rpm it seems to compile ok, gs seems to work fine (limited testing, but at least windows popup).
Currently the package is broken (probably due to a change to the build requirement packages). I will soon request a build for the new version R10B-8 and then post the results.
I enabled building using java, but unfortunately this created havoc on the build system. Building locally in mock creates a working package however. At least "toolbar:start()." works as expected and there is not erl_crash.dump. Two jar files are created: /usr/lib/erlang/lib/ic-4.2.9/priv/ic.jar /usr/lib/erlang/lib/jinterface-1.3/priv/OtpErlang.jar It would be useful if you checked out from CVS and tried a build yourself. However at the moment no java-enabled build can be requested.
Created attachment 121471 [details] My rpms erlang itself was not installed at the time of the build.
I returned to this after I upgraded my computer to fedora development. erlang-R10B-8.3.x86_64.rpm from the development repo still has the same problem - gs was not built. I re-built rpm from the source rpm and it came out allright. I attached list of rpms I had installed at the time of the build (My rpms). It is almost exclusively fedora-development system with one notable exclusion - kernel is from fedora 4.
Seems to work with current release.
