All Machine Types

1. For large atoms the labels are sometimes not far enough from the centre of the atom to be outside the sphere surface. The result is that they aren't drawn.
2. The load module seems to be quite slow and needs improving. Supercell is also quite slow when acting on large slabs.
3. If you delete all the models then the viewer isn't cleared but still displays the last model, even though it no longer exists.
4. The 2D viewer fails to display a plot and just shows a black background, possibly with an error message about insufficient colours. This has so far been seen on Linux and Compaq machines with 8 bit displays. Most modern PCs have graphics cards capable of showing more than 256 colours, so on Linux the solution is to reset the X server to use more colours. On other Unix systems you need to get a better graphics card.
5. The warning message, BF SYMMETRY ADAPTED-INFO MODIFIED BY BAND-CALL NEWK, that CRYSTAL generates when running band structure calculations (also band + DOS) is normal and can be safely ignored with DLV.

Unix systems

1. DLV tries to open a web browser when the documentation is accessed via the help menu. By default this is Mozilla on Linux and Netscape on other Unix systems. This can be changed by altering the DLV_BROWSER enivironment variable in the startup script. This has not been tested with browsers other than Mozilla/Netscape and may also require changes to $DLV_ROOT/scripts/help.csh.

Linux

1. If dialog widgets have buttons labelled UI_OK/UI_CANCEL rather than Ok/Cancel, try adding setenv LANG C to the startup script ($DLV_ROOT/bin/dlv).
2. When using the wheel on a wheel mouse as the middle button you may see error messages from OMenum about invalid enum object values involving Root...ViewEvents.buttonType. This is because you have accidently rotated the wheel and DLV does not recognise these mouse events. These errors can be ignored.
3. Error while loading shared libraries: libg2c.so.0
   This library is usually included in gcc-g77 package on systems that use gcc v3. On newer systems that use gcc v4 (e.g. SuSE v10) this library is in compat-g77 (or equivalent for your distribution). In either case the appropriate package needs to be installed. UPDATE - openSUSE 10.3 no longer seems to include this package, you will need to install the one from the downloads URL you have been sent.
4. Error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5
   This is the C++ library for gcc v3 systems. Newer distributions using gcc v4 should have a compatibility package installed that provides this library. If it is missing you will need to install the appropriate package (compat-libstdc++ on SuSE 10).
5. Error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3
   DLV v2.5 uses the openmotif-2.2 libraries. Some newer distributions (e.g. SuSE 10.2, Fedora 5) are now using openmotif-2.3 (libXm.so.4) and may be missing libXm.so.3. If your distribution doesn't provide an openmotif-2.2 library package (such as openmotif22-libs on SuSE 10.2) then you will probably need to contact us for a fix.
6. Font problems on Debian with Xorg v7.0. This is a problem with the Debian distribution. Please read the Debian bug lists for information on how to fix these issues.
