xclust3 fresh install -> segfault (smth about fonts?)

[imalsogreg]

Just built from source on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10. All unit tests passed.

But trying to run xclust3 on a .pxyabw file, I get:

    Font is NULL! Loading it now... Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Not sure why.

[imalsogreg]

To fix:

sudo apt-get install xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi

Then restart X.

[imalsogreg]

What's the easiest way to solve this in future installs? Make a deb package of mwlsoft64, that depends on those xfonts packages?

[slayton]

No, deb packages are usually for compiled sources. The best solution would be to use autotools to check for dependencies or migrate to cmake which can also check for dependencies

[slayton]

why the re-open?

[imalsogreg]

Figured it is only closed when it's fixed to the point that running xclust doesn't require looking at the issues page.

This has been replaced with: #3
