Description (last modified by jmroot (Joshua Root))

Hi all,

I am trying to run a piece of scientific software Gwyddion(http://gwyddion.net/) on my Macbook with Leopard. I have successfully installed it through Macports.

However when I run it from terminal I get the following:

Toms-MacBook:bin tsobey$ export DISPLAY=:0
Toms-MacBook:bin tsobey$ ./gwyddion
Assertion failed: (status > CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS && status <= CAIRO_STATUS_LAST_STATUS), function _cairo_error, file cairo.c, line 87.
Abort trap
Toms-MacBook:bin tsobey$

Any ideas on what might be going wrong with Cairo and what I should do about it?

Thanks very much,

I don't know if this has anything to do with the failure, but you usually don't want to set DISPLAY on Leopard.

Had compiled gwyddion several time on OS X 10.5.5 and 10.5.6 without ocurrence of this error.
