And here is the bad SVG output, attached.

wpg2odg produces the correct ODG output when converting the attached WPG1 file from WPDOS 5.1 wpd2svg, unfortunately, produces an SVG file with triangular artifacts and black fill. Is it possible to fix this?

I am trying to install libabw, and facing a similar problem. I also did apt-get install librevenge-dev, but it still shows the same error:

No package 'librevenge-0.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables REVENGE_CFLAGS
and REVENGE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Ubuntu may be following the same anti-developer principles of splitting packages, but the naming is different. The apt-get install librevenge-dev should work on a regular Ubuntu/Debian, not sure about the "Ubuntu on Windows"...

Thanks Mikhail, people like you make this experience a lot better! Unfortunately, I'm so new to do doing all this stuff, I must be missing something simple.

I'm running Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, so yum install ... didn't work and neither did sudo apt install. I installed the librevenge onto a separate folder in /Code/librevenge and when I run ls I get:

AUTHORS astyle.options configure librevenge-stream.pc.in COPYING.LGPL autogen.sh configure.ac librevenge.pc.in COPYING.MPL autom4te.cache createBuildNumber.pl libtool HACKING build data ltmain.sh INSTALL buildnumber.sh depcomp m4 Makefile compile docs missing Makefile.am config.guess inc src Makefile.in config.h install-sh stamp-h1 NEWS config.h.in librevenge-0.0.pc test-driver README config.log librevenge-generators-0.0.pc aclocal.m4 config.status librevenge-generators.pc.in ar-lib config.sub librevenge-stream-0.0.pc

but when I try config.log nothing happens :(.

Unlike better operating systems (like FreeBSD), RedHat splits most third-party packages into foo and foo-devel. The former is sufficient to use the programs built by others, the latter is required to build new ones.

Whenever I have use a RedHat/CentOS/Fedora machine, I hold my nose while adding the devel counterpart to each installed package. Only then does the system become usable for building from source -- which should be the only way to install open source software.

So, Ian, what David was saying was, in addition to the already installed RPM "librevenge", you need to also yum install librevenge-devel. Good luck!

What do you mean? I've run into the same problem, and I have no idea what to do here.

You need librevenge-devel.

I am running Fedora 28 (x86_64) and tried to install libwpd.
I downloaded and extracted the source, but when running ./configure I get the following error message.

checking for REVENGE... no
configure: error: Package requirements ( librevenge-0.0 >= 0.0.1 ) were not met:

Package 'librevenge-0.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables REVENGE_CFLAGS
and REVENGE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

I actually have librevenge.x86_64 0.0.4-11.fc28 installed, but it appears that configure is not finding it.

How can I make configure find the package that is already installed?
The library files are in /usr/lib64 as shown below

/usr/lib64/librevenge-0.0.so.0 -> librevenge-0.0.so.0.0.4
/usr/lib64/librevenge-0.0.so.0.0.4
/usr/lib64/librevenge-generators-0.0.so.0 -> librevenge-generators-0.0.so.0.0.4
/usr/lib64/librevenge-generators-0.0.so.0.0.4
/usr/lib64/librevenge-stream-0.0.so.0 -> librevenge-stream-0.0.so.0.0.4
/usr/lib64/librevenge-stream-0.0.so.0.0.4
