[SIP-users] Build/install/runtime issues

[Henk A. <ha...@co...>]

Hello, thank you for providing the SIP toolbox!

I installed SIP from the git repositories using SciLab from git also following the instructions at http://siptoolbox.sourceforge.net/devel/ . This is on Fedora 19.  Eventually I got stuck at a link error that is asking for OpenSSL 3 versions of some Curl functions:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libjava.so, needed by /home/haling/Downloads/scilab-master-1385386481/share/scilab/../..//lib/scilab/libscilab.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libverify.so, needed by /home/haling/Downloads/scilab-master-1385386481/share/scilab/../..//lib/scilab/libscilab.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This was only needed for linking the tests.  To see if I could proceed without that, I removed the tests target from the Makefiles and did a make install, apparently without problems.  I can now see the SIP toolbox in SciLab with its help pages and tried the mogrify option in SIPdemo.  It shows the license plate in a graphics window.  After a few clicks I got:

imread: no decode delegate for this image format `onca.png1¶@6H¶Àlc·‰Œ(›ôÿM¶ î(›,°\·`Á\at line      12 of function gray_imread called by :  
im = gray_imread('onca.png');
at line      59 of exec file called by :    
   exec (SIPDIR+'macros/mogrify.dem')
at line      31 of exec file called by :    

Any advice on how to proceed?  I am a bit uncomfortable working with the latest developer version and SciLab nightly build while it works a lot better than what is posted on the SIP website – and a lot more up to date too.  I have the feeling that if I get a better handle on how SIP developers work this would be just a minor issue – but I can find no leads.  I would appreciate any help and would not mind helping out with development if I can help.

Thanks
