Known Problems and Bugs in epcEdit

This is a list of known problems and bugs in epcEdit 0.92. Please remember that this is a beta version, so more (and hitherto undetected) problems may be found.

Encoding does not work (XML documents)

The document encoding set in the XML declaration does not work if you use one of the encodings supplied in the template wizard. You can type a correct value manually by selecting the combo box with the mouse and entering a new value.

Allowed values are:

epcEdit doees not start (Unix)

If you have installed epcEdit in a non-standard location (i.e. not in /usr/local/tksgml), you might get message like:
wish8.3: error in loading shared libraries: libtk8.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory while trying to run epcEdit. To fix this, you have to explicitly add the lib directory of your installation path to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Example:
You have installed epcEdit in /export/home/smith/tksgml. Now you have to set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /export/home/smith/tksgml/lib with the following command, if you are using the bash shell (for other shells, see shell related documentation about setting an environment variable):
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/smith/tksgml/lib

Table editor does not start (Windows)

If you have downloaded the Windows package of epcEdit between January 2nd, 2001, 11 pm CET and January 11th, 2001, 10 am CET, there is a problem invoking the table editor. It complains about an unknown procedure "epcMain::winico_seticon".

Please download the corrected installation package for Windows.

epcEdit does not recognise the XML encoding

If you have downloaded epcEdit before January 2nd, 2001, 11 pm CET the encoding of an XML document is not recognized because the load command is called without the "-encoding xml" argument inside "epcMain.tcl". This means that XML documents are not shown correctly by epcEdit.

Please download the corrected installation package for your operating system.

Known Problems in TkSGML

TkSGML fails to free all fonts

TkSGML fails to free all fonts before exiting which leads to a program abort while exiting. This happens under the following circumstances: There must be more than one sgml widget in an application (e.g. two epcEdit windows), and a document must have been validated with the 'validate' widget command.
