Compiled Lua files in /usr/share

Hi,

When installing Ion, it places compiled Lua files in
/usr/share/ion2. But the luac(1) manual page says:

"The binary files created by luac are portable to all architectures
with the same word size.  This means that binary files created on a
32bit platform (such as Intel) can be read without change in another
32bit platform (such as Sparc), even if the byte order (endianness) is
different.  On the other hand, binary files created on a 16bit
platform cannot be read in a 32bit platform, nor viceversa."

Does this apply to 32 vs 64 bit architectures as well? In that case,
compiled Lua files should not be placed in /usr/share but in /usr/lib.

According to <http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2003-05/msg00361.html>
it might apply depending on the details of the platform and compiler.
It might thus be safest to move the lc:s to lib, or just do away with
them. The reason I added them was not speedup, but that I trust compiled
files more to not be broken as they've passed the compilation step.

Both Ion2 and Ion3 now install the .lc:s in LIBDIR/ion/lc/.

They've switched to gtk? I tried Plan9 a few months ago with an
older, nicer, Motif-based version and it had no trouble running
under Ion.

Hmm, I am using this version:
 app-emulation/vmware-workstation-4.5.1.7568
as an gentoo ebuild, and it works flawlessly in ion 20040207.

...and I'm using VMwareWorkstation-4.0.5-6030 installed from rpm on RH9 without a problem.

Gimp 2.0 and Ion2


	The initial "Layers and Channels, etc." palette in Gimp 2.0 seems
  to start thrashing in some fashion when I create a new document in an
  IonWS.  It doesn't seem to have any probelms when started on a FloatWS.
  Has anyone else noticed this problem and found a solution?

I've noticed the problem and it seems to occur when the window is put in
a "too small" frame; see entry 3.8 in http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/faq.html
for details.
