A New Freeware Graphics Drawing Program - here

[Chief Suspect]

What is Sodipodi?
Sodipodi is a vector-based drawing program, like CorelDraw® or Adobe
Illustrator® from the proprietary software world, and Sketch or Karbon14
from the free software world. It is free software, distributed under the
terms of the Gnu General Public License, Version 2.

From the website:

Sodipodi uses W3C SVG as its native file format. It is therefore a very
useful tool for web designers.

It has a relatively modern display engine, giving you finely antialiased
display, alpha transparencies, vector fonts and so on. Sodipodi is written
in C, using the Gtk+ toolkit and optionally some Gnome libraries.

Sodipodi works under most versions of Unix and Windows.

Also needs download of GTK+ for windows; unfortunately it then crashed my
98SE box requiring cold boot.

Then it did it again.

Pity, I'd like a graphic prog pittched somewhere between arty and Cad;
still looking.

That's a pity. It works fairly well under XP. I've found the odd
bug, but nothing that would make it unuseable.

Sounds like another example of a program being tested on 2000 and XP
but not on 98 since 98 is going out the door.

Go to the Sourceforge site. There are 2 versions, one for Win9x and one for
2000/XP. The link in the original message is for the 2000/xp version.

Try this:

xe?download

Watch for line wrap.

Unfortunately I spotted that, I did get the 98/ME one.

I hope they get it sorted - of course it may be just *my* W98, I'd fix it
if I had a brain

Horrible name. Haven't tried the program.

Had a very similar experience.
1. Downloaded th 98/ME installer.
2. Burped and demanded the GTK+ files (another 5 Meg.)
3. Installed-and-immediately produced "this program has performed an illegal
op"..
when I tried to run the thing. 98SE/IE5.5.

Just the same except I use IE6 (it was the oly way I could get critical
update to stop pestering me.

I've ripped it out for now, but there were zillions of files.... Scary.

I hope they sort it , I would like a quick and dirty drawing prog.

I have a few Python add-on packages that use the GTK+ library
and all require that the paths to the GTK+ bin and lib
directories to be added to the system path environment variable
before anything that uses them is called ....

Set in autoexec.bat ....

set path=%path%;K:\Proc\GTK\2.0\bin;K:\Proc\GTK\2.0\lib

Maybe trying this with the appropriate paths to your installation
might help to get the GTK+ dependent program working ....
