#138 Error message when opening Guiguts

This report appears on the terminal when opening guiguts.pl. The program opens nevertheless, but is prone to hang or close down unexpectedly.

Hi.
Guiguts isn't being maintained via sourceforge now - the next release will hopefully remove all reference to sourceforge so that bugs do not accidentally get logged here.
The best place for now to mention a bug is in the DP forum https://www.pgdp.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11466 which is monitored quite closely.

That said, I'm guessing you're using Linux and your version of perl is more recent than Guiguts was developed under, which is why '.' is no longer in @INC.
If you are confident with editing the file guiguts.pl in the top folder of the installed release, then add a line
use lib '.';
just above the comment "#use criticism 'gentle';"
This edit will be in the new release.

If you want to discuss further, it's best to message me at DP - I'm "windymilla". I am not monitoring this bug list - I just happened across your message by chance - so quite likely won't see any reply here.

Best wishes
Nigel
