The Python version in 2.4.4 and tcl/tk 8.4 is installed. I used to compile skencil from source but somehow tried to reduce the workload and switched to rpms. The problem persists if I install skencil from source (I tried again). I guess it has something to do with compiling and running it on a 64bit architecture. My hope was other people have already encountered and solved the problem before. May be I have time in a couple of weeks to dive into this.

I think similar bugs can be found not only in rulers. If you have Python skills you can try fixing the problem using tkruler.pyfrom sK1 project as a ruler.py substitution. This widget is based on Tk Canvas and may works better on 64bit platform.

It seems that the problem can occurr with Skencil 0.6.17, so it could have been in other packages? Are you actually sure that it is not present in the 64bit packages for Debian anymore?

This question is in progress. sK1 project has no sponsor, therefore LGM organizers promise to help in trip sponsoring. If it will be successful, I will be there and do representation of sK1 - renewed Skencil.

Hope to see you in Montr?al! Louis LGM 2007 organiser * * * ENGLISH VERSION * * * FRENCH VERSION BELOW * * * Artists and Developers Ally to Boost Open Source Graphics Software. Libre Graphics Meeting 2007 in Montr?al Announced Issue date: 12 February 2007 Building on the overwhelming success of last year's Libre Graphics Meeting in Lyon, France, key Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) graphics projects are pleased to announce the second Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM), to be held in Montr?al, Qu?bec, Canada, May 4?6, 2007 at ?cole Polytechnique de Montr?al. This year's LGM provides a venue where FLOSS graphics application developers, users and professional artists from all over the world meet to discuss collaboration, outline the future of the projects together, with the goal of increasing interaction between developers, professional graphics artists and print professionals to improve the steadily expanding FLOSS graphics' application ecosystem. This ecosystem consists of open source projects such as Blender - a 3D creation application, Scribus - a professional grade page layout application, GIMP - a versatile and mature image editor, Inkscape - a user friendly, yet powerful vector drawing application for SVG, Krita - a rapidly maturing "natural" painting application, Open Clip Art Library - a large public domain collection of freely available artwork, and many other projects focussed on graphics creation and editing. According to Louis Desjardins, a 20 year veteran of pre-press and print production and organiser of the conference: "LGM is a sure demonstration of the maturity of free and open source applications - even at a professional level. Not only that, never before have I seen such a close and amicable working relationship between the users of this kind of software and those who create it." Having experienced the whole evolution from camera ready galleys and manual stripping to the advent and evolution of DTP, he states: "We are now seeing Free Software emerge in a domain which was more or less closed before." Numerous companies and organisations are showing their support of LGM by means of sponsorship. They are convinced that LGM has a clear positive impact on the evolution of the projects present at the conference. LGM audience is increasing rapidly as we gather momentum. Sponsors have the opportunity to show their support to the community and get appropriate web and media exposure. This year they also have the opportunity to advertise in the LGM Brochure which will be entirely done using FLOSS. The conference offers presentations of various Free/Libre Open Source graphics projects, technology previews and talks on general issues such as open file formats. There will be informal brainstorming sessions and time for artists and developers to meet face to face and to work on common goals, which is a characteristic of the FLOSS world. LGM 2007 is putting out a call for participation, sponsorship, and discussion. The call for participation includes the submission of at most 2 paragraph presentation abstracts by interested projects and individuals. All types of presentations will be considered, including topics as diverse as collaboration, power-user art techniques, engineering talks, graphics business best practices, and other relevant topics.

Le Libre Graphics Meeting 2007 d?barque ? Montr?al. Date de diffusion : 12 f?vrier 2007 La deuxi?me ?dition du Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM) se d?roulera ? Montr?al, au Qu?bec, les 4, 5 et 6 mai 2007 ? l'?cole Polytechnique de Montr?al. Le succ?s retentissant du premier Libre Graphics Meeting ? Lyon, en France, l'ann?e derni?re, a convaincu les d?veloppeurs des meilleurs logiciels libres dans le domaine des arts graphiques de renouveler l'exp?rience. Le LGM est un moment privil?gi? au cours duquel d?veloppeurs de logiciels libres, utilisateurs et cr?ateurs professionnels venus du monde entier se rencontrent. C'est l'occasion pour eux de tracer les lignes directrices des d?veloppements futurs de ces logiciels au travers d'une r?elle collaboration entre les gens du m?tier et les concepteurs. Ces ?changes soutenus permettent d'enrichir et de d?velopper l'?cosyst?me en pleine ?volution que constituent les logiciels libres de la cha?ne graphique. Cet ?cosyst?me est constitu? de logiciels libres tels : * Blender, un modeleur tridimensionnel * Scribus, un logiciel de mise en page de niveau professionnel * GIMP, un logiciel complet de manipulation d'image * Inkscape, une application de dessin vectoriel au format SVG * Krita, un logiciel de cr?ation d'images peintes ou dessin?es de mani?re ? naturelle ? * la graphoth?que Open Clip Art, une vaste collection d'images qui peuvent ?tre utilis?es librement * et d'autres encore... Pour Louis Desjardins, organisateur de la conf?rence et professionnel des arts graphiques depuis 20 ans, ? le LGM est une d?monstration ?clatante de la maturit? des logiciels libres, m?me sur le plan professionnel. Je n'ai jamais vu une aussi ?troite et amicale collaboration entre ceux qui utilisent les logiciels et ceux qui les cr?ent. ? Ayant v?cu de l'int?rieur la r?volution num?rique dans les arts graphiques, du montage traditionnel des textes photocompos?s ? l'essor consid?rable de la publication assist?e par ordinateur (PAO), Louis Desjardins ajoute : ? Nous voyons maintenant arriver les logiciels libres dans un secteur qui a toujours ?t? traditionnellement ferm? ?. Plusieurs compagnies et organismes soutiennent d'ores et d?j? le LGM. Elles se montrent ainsi convaincues de l'impact positif du LGM sur l'?volution des logiciels libres pr?sent?s ? la conf?rence. En soutenant le LGM, les organisations d?montrent leur volont? d'appuyer la communaut? du libre. Elles obtiennent en retour une visibilit? m?diatique des plus recherch?es. Cette ann?e, un espace leur sera notamment r?serv? dans la brochure du LGM qui sera enti?rement con?ue et r?alis?e ? l'aide de logiciels libres. Les conf?rences seront l'occasion de d?monstrations, de pr?sentation des avanc?es techniques r?centes et de discussions sur des sujets plus g?n?raux tels que les formats de fichiers ouverts. Des sessions de travail plus informelles permettront ?galement aux d?veloppeurs et utilisateurs de travailler de concert sur des objectifs communs. La participation des professionnels des arts graphiques aux travaux du LGM est fortement encourag?e, elle est m?me essentielle. Un appel ? contribution est donc lanc?. Les personnes int?ress?es peuvent soumettre un r?sum? d'au plus 2 paragraphes de toute pr?sentation qu'elles souhaiteraient faire. Toute proposition sera consid?r?e : contribution ? un projet, d?monstrations par des utilisateurs experts, discussions techniques, pr?sentations d'exp?riences en entreprise, etc. Renseignements et inscription : http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/fr - 30 - Source : L'organisation du LGM 2007 Contact : Louis Desjardins ? courriel : louis [point] desjardins [?] gmail [point] com -- Louis Desjardins Mardigrafe inc.

Thanks for your research, can you file a problem report with the new tracker for Skencil on wald? Lothar reported something similiar a few days ago. It seems to be a technical problem with Skencil on 64 bit. Bernhard -- Managing Director - Owner: www.intevation.net (Free Software Company) Germany Coordinator: fsfeurope.org.
