Dear xcrysden users,<div>I cannot generate animations (be them gifs or mpegs) with xcrysden 1.5.25 (-bin-shared) on linux (suse 12.1). The problem is that the temporary image files (anim_XXXX.ppm) are not created. I've tried to play a bit with the options but with no success.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have also tried 1.5.23, which gives the same problem.</div><div>I have also tried with the old 1.4.1 version which works correctly: after a bogus whirlgif program is specified it creates the temporary images, which I can them transform in a video. Unfortunately it runs out of memory after ~150 frames and need to be restarted, which makes the process a bit tedious.</div>
<div><br></div><div>A couple of my colleagues are having the same problem, on different linux systems, but I think I helped them install XCD, so if it is a setup problem it may still be my fault. </div><div><br></div><div>
I've tried to compare the code of Tcl/gifAnim.tcl of the 2 versions, but I fail to see what is going wrong (nor what is working, for what matters)</div><div><br></div><div>I was wondering if any of you already met the problem and found a fix, or if Tone could have a qualified look at the issue.</div>
