Summary: kst fails to read ascii data files (but probably wont
read any data files)
Product: kst
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: datasources
AssignedTo: kst kde org
ReportedBy: kde jhsnyder com
Version: 1.60 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from: Compiled From Sources
Compiler: gcc version 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33) running on Fedora \
Core 8, x86_64, Dell D830 Latitude notebook
OS: Linux
have been running the FC8 packaged version of kst (1.5.0) on multi-column ascii data \
files with no trouble.
removed the packaged FC8 kst with rpm -e.
downloaded source for kst and compiled it, no errors, installed to /usr/local, \
created /etc/ld.so.conf.d config files, ran ldconfig.
kst datasource files appear in /usr/local/lib64/kde3, including \
kstdata_ascii.{so,la}, various kst libraries in /usr/local/lib64
When I run kst-1.6.0 with the same command line options as before on the same data \
files (e.g. kst -x 1 -y 3 -y 5 data3&), kst comes up and paints x-y axes with both \
ranges 0.0 to 1.0 but plots no curves. I get the red alert icon at the lower \
right-hand portion of the screen. I click on it, and see this (log tab):
(blue disc)2008-04-30 20:06 Scanning for data-source plugins.
(blue disc)2008-04-30 20:06 Scanning for data-object plugins.
(blue disc)2008-04-30 20:06 Scanning for data-source plugins.
(blue disc)2008-04-30 20:06 Failed to load file 'data3'.
The "data sources" tab display is empty.
The "Build Information" tab shows Kst version 1.6.0(EV)
If I click the "Email debugging information" button, the application hangs. (I don't \
have Kmail installed, but I do have an alternative mail client selected under \
Kcontrol->KDE Components->Component Chooser->Email Client. Dunno what that's about, \
but it's a *different* problem, I assume.
The first few lines of the data3 file above are:
1 1 1 1 1
2 1 2 1 2
3 1 3 1 3
4 1 4 1 4
5 1 5 1 5
6 1 6 1 6
7 1 7 1 7
8 1 8 1 8
9 1 9 1 9
10 1 10 1 10
_____________________________________________________
I now mv the kst-1.6.0 binaries and libraries out of the way, reinstall the x86_64 \
kst-1.5.0 package from the FC8 repository, and run (FC8) kst-1.5.0.
Kst displays the data as I expect.
When I go to the kst debug panel, I see in the log tab:
2008-04-30 20:21 Scanning for data-source plugins.
2008-04-30 20:21 Scanning for data-object plugins.

and in the Data Sources directory I see:

I've googled for similar problems online, no joy. Haven't been able to find a forum \
or users' group dedicated to kst, so here I am.
Any tips, pointers to fora or user groups, whatever would be appreciated. I imagine \
this is something *really* simple, but I haven't been able to find any guidance that \
would tell me how to debug the problem.
