Ubuntu 7.04 ---- syntax error in expression "3.14159/8" since yesterday
Coccinella is great software ! Thank you
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All worked fine until yesterday. Now when I start Coccinella :
$ /opt/Coccinella-0.96.0Linux-x86/Coccinella-0.96.0.bin
I get the appended error message. The only change I can think of are upgrading and installation of several other packages. I append the commit logs of Synaptic.

Crash
I can see two reasons for this. Either somehow Tcl/Tk 8.5a* is running which gives similar error messages, or some stack corruption has occurred :-(. The latter can be extremely hard to figure out. I have just added a FAQ https://thecoccinella.org/node/84 of how to run from sources. Could you test this and see what happens?
running from sources
I used the released version http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/coccinella/Coccinella-0.96.0NoVoIPSrc... and Tcl/Tk 8.4 - the newest Ubuntu package.
As far as I understand we get the same error :
$ ./Coccinella.tcl

If you just start Tcl/Tk from the terminal using "wish" and then do "package require Tcl" what do you get? Test also "info patchlevel".
Mats
using wish
$ wish
% package require Tcl
8.4
% info patchlevel
8.4.14
Crash
This is bad since it points to some kind of stack corruption. The actual lines it complains about are perfectly OK so I guess that the Tcl interpreter has got completely messed up. I can only guess. Make sure you don't have the coccinella/bin/unix/Linux/i686/iaxclient/ there and then you could try also removing coccinella/bin/unix/Linux/i686/Img1.3/ since I can live without it. And yes, try also removing coccinella/bin/unix/Linux/i686/tileqt/ and see what happens.

repaired
Due to additional difficulties I decided to install Ubuntu again.
Now Coccinella is working fine again.
Just some thought: did you
Just some thought: did you had libpng3 installed before? That might explain the bug as I also have this problem when I install libpng3.

Crash
That's why I got suspicion against coccinella/bin/unix/Linux/i686/Img1.3/
Not sure if that gets statically linked or not. Also tileqt has been very problematic.
Mats
libpng3
I don't think so. My new Ubuntu installation uses libpng12-0 which supersedes libpng3 and I can think of no reason for having installed libpng3 in my previous Ubuntu.
Maybe a dependency? Can you
Maybe a dependency? Can you try to install it?

libpng3 installed
I have installed libpng3 and Coccinella is still working fine.
The Coccinella crash was the first of three or four strange occurencies after I had newly partitioned my hard disc.
I have changed my hard disc three days ago and get no longer strange occurencies.
Maybe I never had a Coccinella problem ????

Do you really have no
Do you really have no problems with libpng3? Did you tried to enable tileqt in the appearance section of the preferences? When you restart Coccinella, it should crash before loaded. If not, this is good news :D To fix this again, you can deinstall libpng3 and Coccinella will start up again. But no nice KDE integration :(

I use XFCE and only parts of KDE.
In Coccinella when I choose File Preferences I get a big error message in a new window :
http://www.filecabin.com/photos/view.php?mode=gallery&g=4761
( click the image to enlarge it and again click the image to enlarge it )
Then I hit the space bar ( focus is on the OK button ) and Coccinella works again. This behaviour has been the same since I use Coccinella and independently of libpng3.
I can highlight Appearance but I cannot find anything like tileqt. What does tileqt mean ?
mfG Georg Simon
Tile qt is a theme that will
Tile qt is a theme that will make Coccinella to use Qt widgets. In this way Coccinella will adapt to the global KDE theme and will look extremely similar to native KDE applications. It's very cool, but it's broken here for some time because of this incompatible libpng version :(
