Hi Leonard,
Whenever you see a message related to the ipc server process, there is
something wrong with your path
variable. I have to switch hard drives on my laptop in order to check
mine, give me a few minutes and I will
let you know what it should look like.....
Andy ;-)
PS: Everyone who is trying to install the w2k version, I have bad news.
The zip file
on the conference CD is corrupted (looks like a ftp in ascii mode caused
it). Please contact me
if you like the working w2k release and I will email it to you (~26MB
attachment, so make sure your mailbox can handle it).
I soon will post the program on sourcelink........

[PCB_FORUM] Dynamic Shape Property Manager from ICU 2004....
Greetings,
Has any one installed the Dynamic Shape Property Manager that was
presented by Andy at the Users Group?
I am having a few problems with it on Win2000
The program tries to start but hangs at the splash screen with this
message in the Allegro command line:
Launching IPC Process
//aus-filer01b/projects/DSBU-austin-eda/AustinPCBtools/pcb-lib/skill/shapemgr/shape_mgr.exe
E- *Error* ipcBeginProcess: Cannot launch server 'cdsServIpc'
I am thinking that I need a Windows 2000 specific install and the files I
installed were for linux....
Here are the steps I did:
1. I copied the file misc/19_shapemgr_LINUX_RHE30[1].tar.gz to my Windows
2000 PC
* BTW... the file misc/19_source-code.zip on the CD tells me it is an
invalid zip file and I cannot extract it.....
Andy could you perhaps upload this file to the Users Group file
area?
1.1. Question: Is the file misc/19_shapemgr_LINUX_RHE30[1].tar.gz for
Linux installations only?
Will I need to do the compile for a Windows 2000 application?
2. The file wrap.bat referenced in the README.txt file was not on the CD.
So am I missing soem needed files from the CD to do a Win2000 install?
Do I just need to install the Tcl stuff and compile for Win2000?
Any help is appreciated....
Thanks Andy for a cool program and all your labors with ICU,
Leonard Toohey
