As I explained at the very beginning of this thread
(note part 2, this is important!):
1. Install Grace from ports (math/grace)
2. Create $HOME/.grace/gracerc.user and put
one line in this file:
USE "pow" TYPE f_of_dd FROM "/usr/lib/libm.so"
(this is the example from the Grace UsersGuide,
but a similar construct allows me to load my
own function from my own library file).
3. Start grace like this:
$ xmgrace
Shared object "libXcursor.so.1.0" not found,
required by "xmgrace"
DL module load failed: USE "pow" TYPE F_OF_DD
FROM "/usr/lib/libm.so"
Error at line 1
Indeed, grace will start normally, but it will
not parse the "USE..." line from the gracerc.user,
because the dlopen() call has the error:
Shared object "libXcursor.so.1.0" not found,
required by "xmgrace"
Do you see this too?
Thanks,
Rob.
