-- 13. (1 Oct 1999) Aaron Sloman: problem with popvision under linux
PROBLEM
The popvision library in
ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/popvision/
and
ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/popvision.tar.gz
had a problem in that the sunrasterfile.p library in
popvision/lib/sunrasterfile.p
did not cope properly with .ras files when running on a PC in linux
poplog (due to big-endian vs little-endian representations).
A symptom was that the procedure sunrasterfile could not be applied to
the sample .ras files included in popvision/data
FIX
A previous fix introduced to extend the library to work with DEC Alpha
poplog works also for PC+linux. The compile time guard for the fix now
reads
#_IF hd(sys_processor_type) == "alpha" or hd(sys_processor_type) == 80386
This has now been installed in the browsable popvision library and the
tar file. If you have already fetched popvision, it suffices to fetch
and install this file
