https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=560277

Summary: Python import fontforge "SystemError: Missing library: libfontforge" Product: Fedora Version: 12 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: fontforge AssignedTo: kevin@tummy.com ReportedBy: tonynelson@georgeanelson.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: roozbeh@gmail.com, kevin@tummy.com, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora

Description of problem: $ python Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 21 2009, 12:22:21) [GCC 4.4.1 20090818 (Red Hat 4.4.1-6)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import fontforge

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> SystemError: Missing library: libfontforge

...

Fontforge's Python module expects a libfontforge.so file, but fontforge only provides libfontforge.so.1 and libfontforge.so.1.0.0. Creating a symlink libfontforge.so -> libfontforge.so.1 works. Either fontforge should include the symlink or the fontforge Python module should use the specific symlink.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fontforge-20090622-2.fc12.i686

How reproducible: Every time.

Steps to Reproduce: 1. python 2. import fontforge 3.

Actual results: Traceback

Expected results: Successful import

--- Comment #1 from Kevin Fenzi kevin@tummy.com 2010-01-31 18:00:12 EST --- I fixed this in devel/rawhide a while ago, but didn't push a f12 build.

I'll have to look and see if doing so will cause problems. We don't want to get in the situation where an upgrade to fontforge causes fonts to no longer build...

--- Comment #2 from Kevin Fenzi kevin@tummy.com 2010-03-21 01:38:30 EDT --- Sorry for the delay here.

Turns out there was a typo in my patch. It didn't ever work, but no one told me so, and my test machine was messed up in a way that made it work. ;)

Please test the f13/f12 builds and add karma if they work for you.

Thanks very much for the report!

--- Comment #5 from Tony Nelson tonynelson@georgeanelson.com 2010-03-21 17:48:25 EDT --- "python -c 'import fontforge'" works now without the symlink workaround, tested fontforge-20090622-3.fc12 on i686.

The Karma comment stuff is too hard to use, so I won't.
