Can't run Dia 0.95-pre7 on XP

2006-04-11 Thread cnelson
I've been successful in the past with various versions but today I went to
http://dia-installer.sourceforge.net/ and followed the links:

  Please install the GTK+ Runtime Environment first:
 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gtk%2B-2.8.15-setup.zip?download

  Then install Dia for Windows:
 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dia-installer/dia-setup-0.95-pre7.zip?download

and then unzipped and installed on 'Windows XP Pro, Version 2002, SP 2
and when I click on the Dia icon on my desktop, I get the Loading Dia
dialog for a few seconds then:

   diaw.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
   We are sorry for the inconvenience.

The More information link leads to:

   Error signature
 AppName: diaw.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0  ModName libcairoo-2.dll
 ModVer: 0.0.0.0   Offset: 0002359a

Do I have a bad version or a bad installation?  Is an earlier, stable
version availble?

Please try to start dia from the start menu or directly from program
files\dia\bin\diaw.exe
If you had a previous dia installation on the machine before,
please remove it completely (unistaller and/or deletion of program files\dia)
before installing the latest version

Please check if you find different copies of libcairo-2.dll on your machine.

Regards,

Steffen

Creating connection points for a PNG file

2006-04-11 Thread Adrian Wooster
I have a comprehensive set of professional 3D PNG files of network
elements and have successfully created a simple sheet out of them - and
will happily share them once complete.

However, at the moment they are just insertable shapes with no
connection points assigned. Can anyone advise me on a simple way of
calculating where the connection points?

Regards,
   Adrian

Verified before reinstalling: only one, in Program Files\Common

Removal of the program files\dia folder might give better results.

I hope that libcairo-2.dll is only used in the cairo plug-in. Try to delete
dia\cairo.dll in your 0.95-pre7 installation.

I deleted program files\dia, reinstalled Dia and it failed.  Then I
deleted cairo.dll and it still failed (same error).

I guess that would be a good thing to do.

Simply draw them with Dia and save as shape. Some connection points
probably need to be removed later with a text editor. As described here

If you have gtk+-2.8 the cairo library is one of the *required* 
dependencies. The library is libcairo-[somenumber].dll. The cairo plug-in 
is called cairo.dll.


And I've never seen crashes with just *loading* the plug-in as done on 
startup (there is no cairo code involved there at all, just Dia's

plug-in registration.

Instead of a de- and re-installation dance you may want to try some
of the *built-in* diagnostics. Look into your $(TEMP) directory
for a file called dia-0.95-pre7.log and attach it.

Or change in a console window to Dia's bin directory and run 'dia',
*not* diaw. Than you may see some meesages on the console window
which could help us to further analyze the problem.

To get rid of the libcairo-2.dll dependecy you also could install
gtk+-2.6 instead of 2.8. [The only way to possibly run Dia on
win9x.]
