Re: gerbv crashes (was Re: gEDA-user: gerbv 1.0 on RH8)
oooooooooops... My screen was cluttered with 5-8 different terminals,
applications etc.. I did not see (notice) a small pop up window where
you can enter SCALE factor.
There is no more mystery regarding "set scale".
Everything on gerbv 1.0 works as advertised. Even creation of PNG output works.
Version 0.16 dumped the core in 20% of cases when I've selected PNG export.
