[Libmesh-users] getpot bug report

[simone <sob...@ya...>]

Dear Libmesh developers,

I apologize if this is not the right place to report this problem, or if
it has been already raised by someone else. I searched previous digests
for a solution, but I did not find anything similar.

I'm having trouble using GetPot library (not the one included in libMesh
installation), paired with Libmesh. I have isolated the problem in the
attached pack, when running it I have a segfault error at the exit of
the program. I know there's a conflict beetwen getpot class definitions,
but I don't understand why this occur even without including the libmesh
getpot.h header. I'm forced to use GetPot library in my program, I guess
one possible solution could be to install libMesh library with the
variable GETPOT_NAMESPACE defined, but I'd like to avoid it because my
code is part of a library that can be delivered to external users using
their standard installation of libMesh, and I can't force them to
recompile their installed package. Is there another possible solution?

Another question, about public method: libMesh::GnuPlotIO::write(fname)

It seems to do nothing but raising an exception, and there's no way to
avoid it. Is this the expected behaviour? Is there a way to print a 1d
mesh on a gnuplot readable file as the method is depicted to do in the
class documentation?

I thank you in advance for your answer.

Simone
