First if this ends up being a nearly duplicate post... my apologies.
I tried a similar version from a different machine that has apparently
not made it to the server.
I recently went looking for image manipulation tools in general and
web gallery software in particular... I found in portage something
called `bbgallery' which looks like a nice simple solution to my need.
However, after having emerged it and by reading the html docu that
comes with it, I'm told in the simplest case one can simply navigate
to a directory full of `*.jpg' and call:
$ bbgallery
When I do that I get an error telling me bbgallery cannot find its
default template. The docu suggests there should be a series of
templates created under /usr/lib/bbgallery/template. However there is
not.
A full list of the pakgage files shows:
[snip]
No templates at all.
Any one here have experience with this tool or can suggest a debugging
approach. I've written to mail address found on its sourceforge home
page [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it bounces.
I've just looked at the ebuild:
DESCRIPTION="Webpage image gallery creation perl script"
HOMEPAGE="http://bbgallery.sourceforge.net/";
SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/bbgallery/${P}.tar.bz2"
SLOT="0"
LICENSE="GPL-2"
KEYWORDS="x86 ppc ~sparc alpha amd64"
IUSE=""
RDEPEND="media-gfx/gimp
dev-lang/perl
media-gfx/imagemagick
dev-perl/URI
dev-perl/libwww-perl
dev-perl/HTML-Template
dev-perl/HTML-Parser"
I would assume that HTML-Template is responsible for building the
templates (on first run, possibly)?
So then I went to see if there was a possibility that you might have
disabled HTML-Parser via USE flags:
emerge -pv bbgallery
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] dev-perl/HTML-Template-2.7 61 kB
[ebuild N ] dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay-0.51 114 kB
[ebuild N ] dev-perl/libnet-1.19 63 kB
[ebuild N ] dev-perl/libwww-perl-5.800 +ssl 223 kB
[ebuild N ] app-misc/bbgallery-1.2.0 32 kB
... but there isn't so that wouldn't seem to be it.
Were there any errors in the emerge log? It can certainly happen that a
program could emerge successfully without building all of its parts. Not
often, but it can happen. Are there any bugs listed in b.g.o wrt this
app? Is dev-perl/HTML-Template installed? Are you possibly having other
issues with Perl (recent upgrade of), and need to run perl-cleaner?
That's all I can think of, until someone who meets your criterion
(experience with the specific tool) comes along :) .
HTH,

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. As I needed the
gallery at that instance, I just specified the template on the command
line:
bbgallery -T monochrome
Note that there is not a "default" template installed into
/usr/lib/bbgallery.
Also noticed that --meta did not apear to work. I didn't notice any
problems building.
HTH,
Roy
