RE: Installing dia 0.89pre1 on Win2k
Looked at bugzilla briefly yesterday but it wasn't clear if it was actively being utilized. I'll confirm the arrow key bug - kinda. The arrow keys actually do move you, but the cursor doesn't move. (e.g. - type "" into a text object, back arrow twice, type "b" and you end up with "aabaa" although the cursor is still at the end of the object). Wish I could offer to try and fix the issues, but have zero time at the moment.

I would like to know if other users can confirm this particular bug. I hope that Hans (or another volunteer capable of building dia under windows) finds the time to provide new binaries (with the ping and text object bugs fixed) soon. Do you think it's worth creating a new installer for registry entry problem? The real problem are dlls from older dia versions that crash dia upon startup, if they are not removed.

Problems like this should probably used on the toolkit level. It probably will vanish, when g_get_home_dir() from glib-1.3 (than 2.0) is used. It returns the homedir; if not available the tmpdir; if not available "C:\".

As you are the one who did the windows report im sure you are sick and tired of windows users asking stupid questions and can empathise. If and/or when linux is more popular there will be lots of linux users asking stupid questions.

Looks like libxml1 (both binary and -devel packages) is not installed. Have you read the NEWS file, ran ./configure and had no errors from that program ?

Re: Problem getting dia installed
i do not have libxml1 (binary or -devel packages) that i know of. i read through the NEWS file but that doesn't say much about installation problems (unless i missed something -which happens from time to time). there were no errors from tunning ./configure i hear ya on the warning on being logged in as root. i usually su to root anytime i'm installing software. thanks for the warning. -russ > > Looks like libxml1 (both binary and -devel packages) is not installed.

:-) Thanks to all who helped...

RE: Problem getting dia installed
Previously you wrote > i have libxml-1.8.15-ximian.2 You will need to install the devel package from the same place you installed this package (Ximian??). RH7.2 comes with libxml-1.8.14-2 and libxml-devel-1.8.14-2 which are too old. If you downloaded libxml-1.8.15-ximian.2, try downloading the libxml-devel-1.8.15-ximian.2 from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libxml-devel Or, you can use libxml2 which you will need both the package and the development package. The general rule is if you require a package to run an application then you will need the development package to compile it. Hope you slept well.

Floor plans?
Greetings, I have used the latest version of Dia to draw up a floorplan of an existing split-level house. This was no easy task, as none of dia's built-in widgets have common floorplan-style symbols such as walls, windows and doors. I instead resorted to a combination of lines, polygons and bezier curves. It also revealed (IMHO) a few shotcomings of dia, especially in the area of scaling to arbitrary units. I gave up on trying to make it to scale in the end. Is there any plan to incorporate a widget/shape/sheet (pardon my terminology, I don't know what they're really called) with building plan graphics? I understand that making plug-in shapes and sheets in XML is relatively easy. Has anyone done this? I recall visio having menus where you could insert benchtops, tables, and "Room Measurement" widgets. thank you, Greg ___ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
