The site is down about scigen HOT 10 CLOSED

Fixed this in #5, the first two commits. (The other ones have been added by Github automatically but are not relevant.) There is a problem with an oversized figure and there are lots of warnings thrown, but otherwise it works fine for me.

For a more alive project, check out scigen.js, a port to Javascript. In the browser it does not support the generation of figures, but in the console it should work fine -- see the example in the Readme. If you're running into issues there, I'm willing to fix them.

I also get the Possible attempt ... warnings, they are not a critical problem. make-latex.pl at line 236 just calls some external programs in order to compile the created Latex code. The segmentation fault is likely happening in one of these external programs (Latex, Bibtex, dvips).

system( "cp $class_files $tmp_dir; cd $tmp_dir; latex $tex_prefix; bibtex $tex_prefix; latex $tex_prefix; latex $tex_prefix; rm $class_files; " . 
	    "dvips $land -o $ps_file $dvi_file" )

You can use the --savedir flag as in ./make-latex.pl --savedir output-directory to just create the Latex, Bibtex etc. files without compiling and viewing them, and then compile them manually to PDF by whatever method you prefer. If it still doesn't work with MikTeX, maybe try the one from the code snippet above and see whether you can get some more specific error messages than just Segmentation fault (core dumped).

Thanks for your help! I added the lib sentences according to your guidance. But I still meet the problem.

Thanks for your reply! After using --savedir flag, I successfully generate the .tex file, and then generate the .pdf file with Texstudio manually.

It's something to do with new perl versions. A solution is to add use lib "." in a couple of places:

Sorry, didn't notice the question is visible only to me. Here's the relevant part:

The program worked for me on Ubuntu 20.04, perl version 5.30, after installing gv and changing make-latex.pl, make-graph.pl, and make-diagram.pl to include a use lib "." in the beginning of the script. (Note: I had already TeXLive 2020 installed) Running perl make-latex.pl then produces a paper which is displayed in gv – Håkon Hægland Jun 27 '20 at 14:43

Well, also for me under Arch.

Hi I try your method but I still could not solve the problem under Ubuntu 18.04 and perl 5.26.1. Still " Can't not locate scigen.pm in @inc ..."

This is the error when I add use lib "." at the end of "use" sentences in all files. But if I add use lib "." at the beginning of the "use" sentences, the error information becomes " "use" not allowed in expression at make-latex.pl".

Do you have any suggestion?

Heya! Bad news: I know ZERO perl. More bad news: after the fix, the produced .ps files are damaged - readable but damaged. Unless someone takes up the project (and I doubt that) it's dead. WE have to learn computational linguistics. Live long and prosper! Miroslav

Hi!

This is quite a sad news.

Thanks for your reply!

Hi, I have scigen running successfully on ubuntu, but would like to run it on windows 10. Unfortunately perl keeps reporting that it can't write to the temporary directory. I have enabled full write permissions, but perl still can't write to C:\tmp. Please, do you have any ideas? If that's not possible I'll rather try David's scigen.js on windows :-).
Thank you for any ideas.
Here the cmd text:
