Hi James - Thanks for the update. I do not have any active cave mapping projects right now, so for my test machine I am removing Survex and proceeding with Fedora 35. When a new Survex package is available, I will give it a try. There are other reasons for me to hold off Fedora 35 upgrades on my production systems for a week or two. ======== Bill Gee On Thursday, November 4, 2021 7:07:51 AM CDT James Begley wrote:

Hiya,

This is a known issue that Olly is working on - see https://trac.survex.com/ticket/102.

Fedora 35 has moved to proj version 8.2.0, which no longer contains the proj_api stuff that previous versiopns of survex relied on (deprecated since version 5 or 6, actually removed from version 8.0.0). Previous versions of fedora had proj v7, which worked with survex 1.2.44 fine, but moving to proj v8 has had some challenges (v8.0.0 and v8.1.0 both had bugs that blocked survex). A new release of survex that will build with proj v8.2.0 is going to be tested this evening, and hopefully will be released shortly after that.

For the time being, if you want to upgrade to fedora 35 you will need to uninstall survex first and then reinstall survex once a new build has been released.

Cheers, James

For JM Begley ... I tried to upgrade one of my test machines to Fedora 35 this morning. It balked with the Survex package. The message is:

Error: Problem: package survex-1.2.44-1.fc34.x86_64 requires libproj.so.19()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed - proj-7.2.1-2.fc34.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository - problem with installed package survex-1.2.44-1.fc34.x86_64

I know it is early in the Fedora 35 cycle - just two days after release! Have you had a chance to look at this yet?

Not that many Fedora survex users SFAIK, so probably not yet. I just had a look and it seems that F35 is on proj 8.2. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/proj/commits/f35 Althogh my 'all ditrso overview' shows 8.0 in fc35: http://sandpiper.linaro.org/upstreamproject/details/proj (libproj19 <http://sandpiper.linaro.org/upstreamproject/details/proj(libproj19> comes from proj v7, libproj22 comes from proj v8)

So I'm not sure if that means they removed proj7 (I'm failing to find fedora's 'our package list' pages).

Survex works with proj8 now (and is in debian), so if you just rebuild it in fedora it should pick up the new proj and work. It looks like the one in the archive is built against proj 7 but proj7 is no longer available? I'm not sure how the fedora machinery works here.
