prince 6.0r5-1.sles10 not running

Stephan
Hi Michael,

I just tried the

prince-6.0r5-1.sles10.i586.rpm

on my sles 10 system.

Starting prince , I got the error - mesages:

Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
prince: internal error: no available fonts

In the strace output I found:

access("/gondor/fontconfig-2.3.97/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
(!!!)

This is problably the problem.

Oops, perhaps not everyone has a /gondor path on their system. :)

I've rebuilt the RPM for SUSE 10 to use the system fontconfig library, which should hopefully solve the problem. (The issue was caused by static linking to the wrong library; we are using static linking to make it easier to run the same package on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures regardless of installed system libraries).
