Bugs

1. ChIPS smoke test 3 (15 Dec 2008)

   ChIPS smoke test 3 will likely fail on systems using Mesa's 6.5.* version of OpenGL. This is due to a bug in this version of Mesa, which causes chips to segv when windows have been created and destroyed. The problem has been observed on FC6 and FC7 machines.

   Workaround:

   Update the version of Mesa to something greater than 7.0.2.

2. libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b (15 Dec 2008)

   All chips smoke tests may fail due to this warning produced by some ATI graphics cards. The warning is benign and can be ignored.

3. Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so:
   cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (20 Apr 2009)

   The warning is cosmetic and doesn't impact how ChIPS works. It does, however, cause all the ChIPS smoke tests to fail:

   Running test chips-smoke001
   chips-smoke001 FAILED
     Review /tmp/smoke.user/chips-smoke001/diff.log for details
   make[1]: *** [test-chips-smoke001] Error 1
   
   Running test chips-smoke002
   chips-smoke002 FAILED
     Review /tmp/smoke.user/chips-smoke002/diff.log for details
   make[1]: *** [test-chips-smoke002] Error 1
   
   Running test chips-smoke003
   chips-smoke003 FAILED
     Review /tmp/smoke.user/chips-smoke003/diff.log for details
   make[1]: *** [test-chips-smoke003] Error 1
   
   Running test chips-smoke004
   chips-smoke004 FAILED
     Review /tmp/smoke.user/chips-smoke004/diff.log for details
   make[1]: *** [test-chips-smoke004] Error 1
   
   Running test chips-smoke005
   chips-smoke005 FAILED
     Review /tmp/smoke.user/chips-smoke005/diff.log for details
   make[1]: *** [test-chips-smoke005] Error 1
   make[1]: Target `test-chips' not remade because of errors.
   

   Examining the diff.log files will show that the warning message is the only difference:

   % cat /tmp/smoke.user/chips-smoke001/diff.log
   3d2
   < Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": 
   libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
   directory
   3d2
   

   Workaround:

   The gnome session sets GTK_MODULES to load some debugging tools. If the user simply removes the 'gnomebreakpad' entry from their GTK_MODULES or unsets that env var, then the warning messages will disappear:

   unsetenv GTK_MODULES
   

4. ObsVis fails because it can't find ds9 (28 Jul 2009)
   (Mac OS X 10.4 only)

   The obsvis tool checks what OS is being used and sets the ds9 path based on the answer. There is a bug in how this is done on OS X 10.4 (Tiger) machines. The ObsVis smoke tests will fail with a message like:

   dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
   Referenced from: /Applications/ciao-4.1/ots/bin/ds9
   Reason: Incompatible library version: ds9 requires version 7.0.0 or
   later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 5.0.0 
   /Applications/ciao-4.1/bin/ds9: line 7: 10825 Trace/BPT trap ${EXE} -
   analysis ${ASCDS_INSTALL}/config/ciao.ds9 "$@"
   

   Workaround:

   1. Download and install the Mac OS X "Application" version of ds9 for Tiger: ds9 OS X Tiger disk image.

   2. In your CIAO installation, make a link to the ds9 Application:

      cd $ASCDS_INSTALL/ots/bin/
      mv ds9 ds9.ciao
      ln -s /path/to/SAOImage\ DS9.app/ds9 .
      

      Be sure to escape the space in the directory name.
