Re: [O] org-babel-dot on windows

[Bas Bossink]

Hi Eric,

I'm using the following version of org-mode and Emacs:

commit cae9f947beb5f529569a7eb33b460e670fb8ff97

Author: Eric Schulte <address@hidden>

Date:   Tue Aug 30 14:50:26 2011 -0600

Emacs: GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601)

 of 2011-03-10 on 3249CTO

The error says: Error: dot: can't open c\:/Users/bas/AppData/Local/Temp/babel-2652SMW/dot-2652b4h

running: 

dot -Tpng \Users\bas\AppData\Local\Temp\babel-2652SMW\dot-2652b4h -o test.png 

in a cmd window works fine and generates the png I would expect.

About my configuration, I don't know if there is anything weird in it. For reference I appended the org-mode part of my .emacs at the bottom of this message.

Do you know anybody who has a Windows box that can reproduce/investigate this problem?

Thanks for your quick response.

Regards,

Bas Bossink

Hi Bas,

Unfortunately I don't have access to a windows machine to reproduce this
problem.

Does the temporary file name mentioned in your error report exist, and
does it look to be a valid file name?  Org-mode uses built-in Emacs
functions for creating temporary files, and these functions are supposed
to work across Windows/*nix systems, so I'm not sure what the problem
could be.

Are you using the latest version of Org-mode, and do you have anything
weird in your configuration which could cause this problem?

Sorry I can't be of more help, maybe another windows user on the list
can check that dot works for them.

Best -- Eric
