Description mambro 2007-04-23 09:34:14 UTC 
I have ubuntu feisty 7.04 on an ibook G4 (ppc version).
When i try to make a chart it appears purple. Same thing with the windows "About gnumeric".

I had the same problem with gnumeric 1.7.* with Gentoo on PPC.

I use gnumeric 1.7.8

fixes the issue

It was an issue related to endianness in cairo_to_pixbug. Apologies.

I've tried the ubuntu packages made by Sam Tygier that include this patch (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2541321) and it works ;-)

Good job! Thank you :-)

Excellent!

I hope we can come up with some kind of automated test that exercises
code like this.  (Obviously one would only get the little-endian or
the big-endian version, but we could be set up to get early warnings
for problems like this.)

If you need access to a powerpc or want test run in the future, then feel free to contact me.
