Hi James - Confirmed - thbook.pdf is in /usr/share/therion. Thanks! The problem with "make install" is not a permissions issue. The files being copied do not exist at their source location. The compile ran and produced no errors - and also produced no output! You may be on to something regarding nVidia display adapters. I do use an nVidia display adapter and I recently changed to a new one. I have been using an older 8400GS. Unfortunately nVidia decided to stop updating the driver for it. Their driver stopped working with kernel 4.1.6 or thereabouts. I bought a new GT710 card which is supported by nVidia's current driver. This is the closed-source binary driver straight from nVidia. I have not tried Therion 5.1.4 on any other system yet. The obvious candidate is my laptop which has an Intel display adapter. I will try to do that soon and post results. I also have some VirtualBox systems where I can install Therion. VirtualBox provides a special display driver for guest systems. Bill Gee On Monday, May 1, 2017 4:50:55 PM CDT James Begley wrote:
Hi Bill
The RPM file from that copr repository does include the thbook.pdf - it should be installed in the /usr/share/therion/ folder.
I'll admit that I hadn't tried running 'make install' (I would have just copied the compiled files to somewhere useful manually). My reading of the file is that it should have been copying the file that had been generated from {current_folder}/loch/loch to /usr/local/bin/loch - I guess that you would have to have root permissions to do this?
The error that we are both getting is a little puzzling - I assumed that I was missing (or hadn't installed correctly) a graphics library. My workstation has recently (well, since I last ran loch!) had a new nvidia graphics card installed, and I thought that the error would likely be related to that. However if you the same error message (and assuming that you havent recently changed nvidia graphics cards as well) then it may be related to loch itself or the libraries it has been compiled against. I'll try to have a look at this, but unfortunately I'm going to be busy with other things for the next few days.
Cheers, James

Hi James ...
I still have the old loch on my system. When I start it, I get this:

It used to work, so some Fedora upgrade has hosed it. I can't tell what version it is since it won't run. xtherion is version 5.3.16, so this is whatever loch came with that.
I tried your Makefile and received no errors. Unfortunately it also did not produce any executable output files. "Make install" gave me an error saying that /usr/local/bin/therion could not be written. I traced it down to the root cause - It was trying to copy a file that does not exist.
So I went to try out your repository. That is VERY useful! I already have it set up for survex, so adding therion was easy.
The new version of loch gives the same error on my system as on yours.
One question about the package in your repository - Does it include thbook.pdf? And if it does, where does it put that file?
Thanks - Bill Gee

Hi Bill,
I've managed to get therion and loch to compile on Fedora 25 - see
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jmbegley/therion/
The makefile that is used for loch is attached - hope this helps :)
However, whilst xtherion is happy to run, I can't actually get loch to
run.
I get an error message that states
