FW: gv & resource file in ubuntu feisty fox
I've searched and have not found the answer to this issue. gv in the Ubuntu feisty fox distro does not seem to observe the resource file. In particular the auto-refresh and reverse scroll do not work. My resource file is ~/.gv and contains: GV.reverseScrolling: TRUE GV.watchFile: TRUE GV.autoResize: FALSE This did work on Red Hat FC4, but the same file does not work in Ubuntu. Am I doing something wrong or have I found a bug? TIA, Bill

How about trying this to see if it really is a bug on failing to parse ~/.gv?
gv --ad=/home/youruser/.gv foo.ps -- Kristian Hermansen
Kristian, I tried that -- it still did not pick up the resource. Bill

Appears there is a patch specifically for this issue. Maybe a bug crept into the later versions of the gv source, and may not be specific to Ubuntu... http://www.nabble.com/cannot-save-options-in-gv-tf3810362.html#a10786600 <snip> diff -ru gv-3.6.2/src/info.c gv-3.6.2J/src/info.c --- gv-3.6.2/src/info.c 2004-11-11 05:21:05.000000000 -0700 +++ gv-3.6.2J/src/info.c 2007-04-18 15:16:22.000000000 -0600 @@ -76,6 +76,7 @@ Widget w; XtPointer client_data, call_data; { + if(gv_gs_quiet) return; BEGINMESSAGE(cb_popupInfoPopup) if (!infoPopupCreated) { makeInfoPopup(); } if (infoPopupVisible==True) {INFMESSAGE(InfoPopup already up) ENDMESSAGE(popupInfoPopup) return; } diff -ru gv-3.6.2/src/main.c gv-3.6.2J/src/main.c --- gv-3.6.2/src/main.c 2006-09-14 12:56:08.000000000 -0600 +++ gv-3.6.2J/src/main.c 2007-04-18 15:16:03.000000000 -0600 @@ -594,7 +594,7 @@ XrmDatabase db; INFMESSAGE(getting resources) db = resource_buildDatabase(gv_display,gv_class,gv_name,&argc,argv); - XrmCombineDatabase(db,&gv_database,False); + XrmCombineDatabase(db,&gv_database,True); } /*### initializing widget set and creating application shell #########################*/ @@ -1033,8 +1033,7 @@ XtSetArg(args[n], XtNinterpreter,gv_gs_interpreter); n++; b = gv_gs_safer ?

Have you tried the Feisty Fawn distro? :) -- Rich
