Therefore, to enable -investigation, your report should include the following: - - <ul> -<li><a name="index-version-numbers_002c-determining-289"></a>The version number(s) of the program(s) involved, and of Kpathsea -itself. You can get the former by giving a sole option ‘<samp><span class="samp">--version</span></samp>’ -to the program, and the latter by running ‘<samp><span class="samp">kpsewhich --version</span></samp>’. -The <samp><span class="file">NEWS</span></samp> and <samp><span class="file">ChangeLog</span></samp> files also contain the version -number. - - <li><a name="index-uname-290"></a>The hardware, operating system (including version number), compiler, and -<code>make</code> program you are using (the output of <code>uname -a</code> is a -start on the first two, though often incomplete). If the bug involves -the X window system, include X version and supplier information as well -(examples: X11R6 from MIT; X11R4 from HP; OpenWindows 3.3 bundled with -SunOS 4.1.4). - - <li><a name="index-config_002elog-291"></a>Any options you gave to <code>configure</code>. This is recorded in the -<samp><span class="file">config.status</span></samp> files. - - <p><a name="index-configuration-bugs-292"></a><a name="index-config_002estatus-293"></a>If you are reporting a bug in ‘<samp><span class="samp">configure</span></samp>’ itself, it's probably -system-dependent, and it will be unlikely the maintainers can do -anything useful if you merely report that thus-and-such is broken. -Therefore, you need to do some additional work: for some bugs, you can -look in the file <samp><span class="file">config.log</span></samp> where the test that failed should -appear, along with the compiler invocation and source program in -question. You can then compile it yourself by hand, and discover why -the test failed. Other ‘<samp><span class="samp">configure</span></samp>’ bugs do not involve the -compiler; in that case, the only recourse is to inspect the -<code>configure</code> shell script itself, or the Autoconf macros that -generated <code>configure</code>. - - <li>The log of all debugging output, if the bug is in path searching. You -can get this by setting the environment variable <code>KPATHSEA_DEBUG</code> -to ‘<samp><span class="samp">-1</span></samp>’ before running the program. Please look at the log -yourself to make sure the behavior is really a bug before reporting it; -perhaps “old” environment variable settings are causing files not to -be found, for example. - - <li>The contents of any input files necessary to reproduce the bug. For -bugs in DVI-reading programs, for example, this generally means a DVI -file (and any EPS or other files it uses)—TeX source files are -helpful, but the DVI file is necessary, because that's the actual -program input. - - <li><a name="index-context-diff-294"></a><a name="index-sending-patches-295"></a><a name="index-ChangeLog-_0040r_007bentry_007d-296"></a>If you are sending a patch (do so if you can!), please do so in the form -of a context diff (‘<samp><span class="samp">diff -c</span></samp>’) against the original distribution -source.

Therefore, to enable +investigation, your report should include the following: +</p> +<ul> +<li> <a name="index-version-numbers_002c-determining"></a> +The version number(s) of the program(s) involved, and of Kpathsea +itself. You can get the former by giving a sole option ‘<samp>--version</samp>’ +to the program, and the latter by running ‘<samp>kpsewhich --version</samp>’. +The <samp>NEWS</samp> and <samp>ChangeLog</samp> files also contain the version +number. + +</li><li> <a name="index-uname"></a> +The hardware, operating system (including version), compiler, and +<code>make</code> program you are using (the output of <code>uname -a</code> is a +start on the first two, though incomplete). + +</li><li> <a name="index-config_002elog"></a> +Any options you gave to <code>configure</code>. This is recorded in the +<samp>config.status</samp> files. + +<a name="index-configuration-bugs"></a> +<a name="index-config_002estatus"></a> +<p>If you are reporting a bug in ‘<samp>configure</samp>’ itself, it’s probably +system-dependent, and it will be unlikely the maintainers can do +anything useful if you merely report that thus-and-such is broken. +Therefore, you need to do some additional work: for some bugs, you can +look in the file <samp>config.log</samp> where the test that failed should +appear, along with the compiler invocation and source program in +question. You can then compile it yourself by hand, and discover why +the test failed. Other ‘<samp>configure</samp>’ bugs do not involve the +compiler; in that case, the only recourse is to inspect the +<code>configure</code> shell script itself, or the Autoconf macros that +generated <code>configure</code>. +</p> +</li><li> The log of all debugging output, if the bug is in path searching. You +can get this by setting the environment variable <code>KPATHSEA_DEBUG</code> +to ‘<samp>-1</samp>’ before running the program. Please look at the log +yourself to make sure the behavior is really a bug before reporting it; +perhaps “old” environment variable settings are causing files not to +be found, for example. + +</li><li> The contents of any input files necessary to reproduce the bug. For +bugs in DVI-reading programs, for example, this generally means a DVI +file (and any EPS or other files it uses)—TeX source files are +helpful, but the DVI file is required, because that’s the actual +program input. + +</li><li> <a name="index-context-diff"></a> +<a name="index-sending-patches"></a> +<a name="index-ChangeLog-entry"></a> +If you are sending a patch (do so if you can!), please do so in the form +of a context diff (‘<samp>diff -c</samp>’) against the original distribution +source.

If the +cause is apparent (a <code>NULL</code> value being dereferenced, for +example), please send the details along.

If +these rather complicated shell scripts fail, you’ll eventually get an +error message saying something like ‘<samp>Can't find font +<var>fontname</var></samp>’. The best solution is to fix (or at least report) the +bug in <code>mktexpk</code>; the workaround is to generate the necessary +fonts by hand with Metafont, or to grab them from a CTAN site +(see <a href="#unixtex_002eftp">unixtex.ftp</a>). + +</li><li> There is a bug in the library.
