[sword-devel] Problems with imp2ld not responding

[Alonso Graterol]

   I tried svn (reported version 2128) but got some errors while compiling
so I left that alone and used sword-1.5.10
   After compile I ran ./imp2ld from within utilities subdirectory and
produced both .dat and .idx files OK. Also tried versions 1.5.8 & 1.5.9 and
both worked fine as well.
   I then installed 1.5.10 and tried again... got the loop.
   Rest of comments apply to version 1.5.10

As two people have the same problem I think it's time to use linux tools to

2. run the program with strace to reproduce the problem (strace -o

   Uhm... OK, I think I owe you an apologize.
   When I used strace as suggested I got a clean result as expected. Both
.dat & .idx files were produced well.
   The module Karl handed me use a sed instruction first and then calls
imp2ld. The loop goes on when I run this module. If I run imp2ld direct I
get no loop at all.
    I'll check if the reasons for which I needed this module still apply and
I will report back whatever I find.
    Thanks for your helpful and timely support.
