I have an an issue with gv (installed via Macports) for a while. I
get the warning (on any ps file):
gv idl.ps
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: apLineDel
Warning: ... found while parsing '<Key>apLineDel:
GV_Page(page+5) '
Warning: String to TranslationTable conversion encountered errors
Although gv mostly works the pageUp and pageDown buttons did not.
This broke a "few" months ago when upgrading. A bit of searching and
I have discovered that this is due to the XKeysymDB file not being
present in /opt/local/share/X11. When I run locate on this file I
get:
locate XKeysymDB
/opt/local/var/macports/software/xorg-libX11/1.3.5_0/opt/local/share/X11/XKeysymDB
/usr/X11/share/X11/XKeysymDB
which suggest that xorg-libX11 used to provide this file but
apparently does not any more (I have xorg-libX11 1.4.0 installed).
Coping this file to /opt/local/share/X11 fixes the issue with gv. So
my question is: why doesn't xorg-libX11 provide this file anymore and
what is the correct way to get this file using Macports.
Thanks,
Bob
