Hi,
first please consider the attached patch required for a correct VPATH build.
========
In addition there are still serious problems with updating the resources in
~/.gv via gv-update-userconfig.
When there is no such file ~/.gv, I obtain the message:
One of the files
/usr/local/X11R6/share/gv/gv_system.ad
/usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/GV
belongs to an older version of gv and cannot be used.
Please remove or update the outdated file.
Quite probably your /usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/GV is too old.
Running gv-update-userconfig /usr/local/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/GV should
help
by removing all incompatible resources.
This is misleading (a non-root user can certainly not update files under
/usr/local). Moreover "gv-update-userconfig" fails with
Cannot open $HOME/.gv for reading.
Thus the user has to "touch ~/.gv; gv-update-userconfig", but this is by no
means obvious.
Please fix gv such that the program correctly diagnoses that ~/.gv is
missing (and creates such a file). In addition gv-update-userconfig should
also create this file when missing.
