 |

I've just tried to install grace. Typing
emerge --pretend grace
gives me
Calculating dependencies \!!! depgraph.create() error: string format: {'/': 'virtual/x11 >=x11-libs/openmotif-2.1 media-libs/libpng-0.96 >=media-libs/tiff-3.5 pdflib? ( >=media-libs/pdflib-3.0.2 ) virtual/x11 >=x11-libs/openmotif-2.1 media-libs/libpng-0.96 >=media-libs/tiff-3.5 pdflib? ( >=media-libs/pdflib-3.0.2 )'}
...done!
[ebuild N ] media-gfx/grace-5.1.7-r1 to /
I went ahead and installed anyway, but got a message that the install was broken.
I don't have time to learn how the package sytem works otherwise I'd have a go at fixing it myself.

I just had the same problem and went here looking for answers. Which I couldn't find. Luckily, this is handled in the grace FAQ. The installation isn't broken, per se, it's just not complete. Specifically, grace needs to know where to look for fonts. All you need to do is define the environment variable GRACE_HOME. If you're using bash:
| Code: |
export GRACE_HOME="/usr/share/grace"
|
and everything should work fine after this. Add a similar line to your .bashrc and you should be good to go.
Good luck!
