Hi Forum

I have built two apps that have compiled without a glitch... ( they are slackbuilds... so... it is quite expectable... :-) )

They are abiword, and wxMaxima... but when I launch them from shell ( I've been too lazy to set up menu entries in ~/.Icewm/menu ... :-| ) under IceWM... they run allright, but some strange msgs pop out in bash...

Like this ...

(abiword:3878): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_pointer: assertion
`G_VALUE_HOLDS_POINTER (value)' failed

** (abiword:3878): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1280

bash-3.1$ wxmaxima

.......................

But I can complete the tasks I am doing... ( wll, it's been like this so far... )

Do I miss any lib ( they compiled allright... ) or not... ?

A quick google would suggest that it is a problem with IPP (internet print protocol), other suggestions are gnome-print, wxGTK and cups. Make sure that cups is running and your printer is configures correctly.

I think abiword relies on a few GNOME dependencies for managing printing tasks and what not. Personally I've been partial to OpenOffice since I stopped using GNOME.

Those WARNING's are usually to be considered "information"

.. and not to be read as errors.

A lot of glib / gtk applications can come up with some warnings.

They eliminated all dependencies on any libraries with gnome in the name for 2.8.x versions. It's now all done by the fairly new printing stuff in GTK.

Thanks. I was looking at the dependency list on abiword earlier today at freebsd.org/ports and noticed a lot of the old stuff was missing. Now I know why
