Application exits after attempt to open .PDF or .JPG

[TheRealPhil]

The application start up okay. I can navigate through the menus. Howeve, after clicking Document-Open and then selecting [PDF or JPG file] followed by OK, the application exits.

There are no error messages and no POPUPLOG.OS2 file. This is the same for all versions of LUCIDE; that is, v1.0, v1.1 and v2.0.

Since I have a couple of compilers, it's possible that my SOM paths and files are missing or nonstandard. What SOM files and what SOM paths are required by LUCIDE? Currently, I have tried to separate the SOM stuff from Visualage C++ v3.09; from the Warp Toolkit v4.52; and from the eCS v1.1 base into their appropriate sections.

That is the only thing I can think of that might be causing the problem.

Is there a debug mode for LUCIDE?

Sorry, but I'm kind of stuck!

[Eugene Romanenko]

Very mysterious...

Try to execute lucide from command line using command like:

lucide >stdout 2>stderr

After lucide exit check if stdout/stderr files contains something.

[TheRealPhil]

Nice, a possible solution!

stdout gives

Error: class <SOMObject> version mismatch

(version compatible with (1,5) requested by caller, but version (1,4) is provided by the class's implementation)

Error: Attempt to load, create or use an incompatible class. "SOM.C": 1364: SOM Error - code = 2-007-9, severity = Fatal.

The SOM paths I generally use is in this order: ecs basic, Warp Toolkit and VACPP. I would guess some file got deleted or renamed and an older version is used. Does the error message give you enough infomation to narrow down the name of the file(s)?

Thank you for your help!

[Eugene Romanenko]

Well, at least now we definitely know - problem due to SOM version mismatch...

I unsure about which files may cause this... I attached chkdll utility, please run it against lucide.exe.

For me, it shows output like:

D:\Projects\lucide\trunk\Lucide\BIN>chkdll32.exe Lucide.exe
Loading DLL 'som' --> C:\OS2\DLL\SOM.DLL.
Loading DLL 'LUDOC' --> D:\PROJECTS\LUCIDE\TRUNK\LUCIDE\BIN\LUDOC.DLL.
Loading DLL 'DOSCALLS' --> loaded.
Loading DLL 'NLS' --> C:\OS2\DLL\NLS.DLL.
Loading DLL 'PMWIN' --> C:\OS2\DLL\PMWIN.DLL.
Loading DLL 'PMSHAPI' --> C:\OS2\DLL\PMSHAPI.DLL.
Loading DLL 'PMCTLS' --> C:\OS2\DLL\PMCTLS.DLL.
Loading DLL 'PMGPI' --> C:\OS2\DLL\PMGPI.DLL.
Loading DLL 'PMDRAG' --> C:\OS2\DLL\PMDRAG.DLL.
All DLL's used by 'Lucide.exe' could be loaded.

So, we can see which DLLs is loaded.

You may also use option '-!' which lists all DLLs recursively.

STDOUT from chkdll32 -! Lucide results

[TheRealPhil]

Using "chkdll32.exe Lucide.exe" gives me the exact results you get.

However, using "chkdll32.exe -! Lucide.exe" does give me a STDERR that says "File is not a valid OS/2 .EXE or .DLL file". It doesn't say what file, though.

The STDOUT is attached as stdout.txt for your examination.

Thank you for your time!

PS. In the future, should I zip all these type of text files before attaching them?

[Eugene Romanenko]

I have no guess whats wrong...

Please check dates of SOM DLLs in \OS2\DLL, maybe them was replaced? Compare with files from CD.

[Eugene Romanenko]

Check also SET SOMIR and SET SOMDDIR lines in CONFIG.SYS, them should looks like -

SET SOMIR=C:\OS2\ETC\SOM.IR;C:\OS2\ETC\WPSH.IR;C:\OS2\ETC\WPDSERV.IR;C:\OS2\ETC\REXX.IR;
SET SOMDDIR=C:\OS2\ETC\DSOM

If any additional entried listed - try to remove them.

[Rudi]

I had exactly the same problem. The cause here was that the IBM C3.65 compiler comes with some really outdated SOM.DLL. Due to the LIBPATH set by the default installation of the product, the system will load this one instead of the one in \OS2\DLL. The WPS itself seems to work correctly with the old DLL, bit Lucide does not.

[Heiko]

The same as described by Rudi applies to IBM VAC 3.0.

After installing VAC move all entries made to variables in CONFIG.SYS to the end (PATH, DPATH, HELP, LIBPATH, SOMIR). The OS/2 paths must be before the VAC paths everywhere. This will also make your WPS more stable.

I have moved the OS/2 Toolkit 4.5x paths behind the OS/2 paths as well although this shouldn't cause any problem.

[TheRealPhil]

i wouldn't mind if Rudi, when he has a moment, can do a

bldlevel c:\os2\dll\som.dll

on his version of this file. The one on my system seem to be the correct one, but may be I'm picking up a rogue version somewhere else.

[Heiko]

The som.dll has no embedded version number on all of my systems (eCS 1.15 with VAC 3.08, plain eCS 1.2MR).

Both systems show the following dir attributes:

30.06.99 16.33 92.009 0 a--- SOM.DLL

(German date, simply swap the first 2 numbers for English format)

BTW, I hope you don't have the old version of my GBM plugin still in the Lucide installation directory. This might also create this strange behaviour. Try deactivating all plugins except for instance lupplr.dll. Maybe this helps reducing the trouble scope.

[TheRealPhil]

Heiko, is the old version of your GBM plugin under a different name than your current version? Otherwise, no go but it was a good try.

Thank you for your suggestion.

I think it is likely the only ones to have this problem are some people who install the Warp Toolkit and/or an IBM Visualage C++ for OS/2.

[Heiko]

No change, the plugin kept the initial name.

Well, I have the Warp Toolkit 4.52, VAC 3.08 and OpenWatcom installed. Lucide works fine here. I can even debug my plugin with the VAC debugger attached to Lucide.

So it must be something related to your installation.

I have thw same problem to open PDF and jpg files.

[JuergenUlbts]

Hi!

I've added the popuplog.os2 entry to bug #55 and attached the PDF file. Maybe my error is also releated to Toolkit45 and IBM VAC 3.x! I've just checked my LIBPATH, PATH,... settings and the Toolkit45 and IBMCPP entries follow the standard OS2/eCS entries. Does anyone know how "SET SOMBASE=... and SET SOMRUNTIME=..." which are currently pointing to the Toolkit may influence this?

Just tried Beta 1.1 again and it loads the file, but most stuff isn't displayed, so I assume it's not a SOM problem on my side.

[ktk]

Moved to beta 4

[Eugene Romanenko]

TheRealPhil, please show you LIBPATH entry in config.sys. And also 'dir' command output in \OS2\DLL directory...

[Eugene Romanenko]

Jan, please try this - ​http://os2.in.ru/download/eros2/lucide_test_frank.zip - it should fix your crash.
