Hi Brent, 1. First thank you for submitting this bug ticket. I'm not sure if I have write access to the debian bug system, but we'll see.
2. I'm the sole downstream developer of quickplot. quickplot as distributed by Debian GNU/Linux was pretty cool stuff. It currently has some package dependencies that have broken it. In particular, libsndfile and GTK3. And so, quickplot is in need of refactoring, maybe dropping the libsndfile dependency and removing deprecated GTK3 API usage. As it turns out, I just happened to have released (alpha) a much larger software package that kind-of needs a "quickplot" like tool to help my current work. So I need to fix quickplot for my own use. I have not used it in a while. 3. I looked at your bio. We seem to have a little bit of overlap in professional interests, my CV is at http://107.191.96.171/cv.html , sorry it's http without https yet. 4. My new alpha software package is at https://github.com/lanceman2/quickstream , you might find it interesting. cheers lance On Fri, Jul 7, 2023 at 11:30 PM Brent Roman <br...@mbari.org> wrote: > > Package: quickplot > Version: 1.0.1~rc-1+b3 > > Any attempt to read an input file or pipe fails with the error message: > > Failed to read file /home/brent/quickplot/plot.dat: lseek() failed > > A workaround is the link the quickplot binary with the upstream > libsndfile-1.0.28 > rather than the libsndfile-1.0.31 packaged with Debian 11 > > For instance, after installing libsndfile-1.0.28 in /usr/local/lib, > quickplot > will work if started with this shell script: > > #!/bin/sh #force linkage with our local version of libsndfile > # (1.0.28 rather than Debian's 1.0.31) > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH exec /usr/bin/quickplot "$@" > > I am using Debian 11 on x86 (tested both 32 or 64-bit) with various > Linux 5.x kernels. > > -- > Brent Roman MBARI > Software Engineer Tel: (831) 775-1808 > mailto:br...@mbari.org http://www.mbari.org/~brent >
