xmgrace not working on OS X Leapord

[okhalid.cern@…]

Hi,

I have installed grace-5.1.22 on my machine. Macports successfully installed Grace and i can locate it, man pages work so does the command line grace interface.

But when i launches xmgrace from the console, it fails with the following error:

dyld: Symbol not found: __cg_jpeg_resync_to_restart
  Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO
  Expected in: /Users/okhalid/usr/local/bin/MacPorts-1.7.0/lib/libjpeg.62.dylib

Trace/BPT trap

Thanks for your help. Regards

Omer

xmgrace works fine for me on Leopard. Did you install macports into a non-standard directory? if so, what is it? I have libjpeg.62.dylib at:

/opt/local/lib/libjpeg.62.dylib

Also, what does the following command return:

port installed grace jpeg

I re-installed macports under standard location and now there is libjpeg.62.dy under /opt/local/lib/

It's also available under: /Users/okhalid/usr/local/bin/MacPorts-1.7.0/lib/

Also, what does the following command return:

port installed grace jpeg

I did the same as before; just re-installed every thing...

I think the problem is with the libjpeg. The installed version by macports is jpeg @ver7_b3 and my guess is that there is a bug in it which is crashing due to ]dyld: Symbol not found: cg_jpeg_resync_to_restart

How can i install another and stable version of libjpeg via macports?

[okhalid.cern@…]

I have checked on the www.ijg.org . libjpeg version 3.6b is considered stable since Mar 1998...so I am not sure about my theory about the bug in it :-S

hmm...it might be due to my OS X 10.5.5

Any body else saw the same problem?

[okhalid.cern@…]

I found the source of problem. There is a libJPEG.dylib on my system already which is actually conflicting with the libjpeg.dylib from macports.

Now I have tried this in my ~/.profile and ~/.basrc : export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib:$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH It does not work :-(

I have renamed the libJPEG.dylib to libJPEG.dylib under: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources

And then created a symbolic link in there to /opt/local/lib/libjpeg.62.dylib

But no luck! Any more ideas?

grace works fine on my machine as well.

I wonder how any library found
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources/libJPEG.dylib.

What is the result of

otool -L /opt/local/bin/xmgrace /opt/local/lib/libjpeg.62.dylib

?

You should not set DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH. It is not necessary and can cause problems.

I have renamed the libJPEG.dylib to libJPEG.dylib under: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Resources

And then created a symbolic link in there to /opt/local/lib/libjpeg.62.dylib

You should not change anything in /System. This will likely cause problems for your operating system. You should change it back to the way it was.

I've seen this problem too with the kdepim4 package. The patch included (which is horribly horrible) is an attempt to work around this. I'm also on Leopard running macports 1.7.0 on OS 10.5.6

See ticket #18393 and r46678.

[illogic-al@…]

files/patch-kresources-CMakeLists.diff is the patch. It just prevents the directory showing this error from compiling.
