How to lock eagle from execution

autodeskguest

I was playing with a little project here at home using the freeware license,

and today when I started eagle, nothing happened. I could see it starting in

task manager but it quit a few seconds later without any message. This

happened again and again and I'm glad I'm an experienced user that could

track down what was going on. A newbie would probably just give up and move

to another tool.

 

I had downloaded a mini_din.lbr (16800 bytes) from an unknown origin. It was

in the old binary format. At the time I used it and instanciated a 3pin

minidin, this library worked and I got the minidin connector I wanted. Out

of old habits, I copy the part I'm happy with to my own project, and

replaced the instanciated part with my own. Thats when I closed my Eagle

(with the project open). The next day I tried to opened Eagle, nothing

happened.

 

Apparently this library was partly corrupted (maybe it originated from a

pirated eagle, or maybe the auto import bugs on it). It could be opened

sometimes, but mostly, when selecting use, or open from control panel,  it

crashes eagle in a visible way, leaving the debug/cancel requester. But as

long as this library was in use by the last used project, it causes eagle to

just quit silently. I doubt this is a feature, and for the sake of the

starters, it should be fixed.

 

If you can't find that library, I can send it to you on request. I don't

want to post it because of obvious reasons.

    I get the exact the same crashing problem on 7.5.x here when I attempt

    to open the lib. Maybe that path and ownership is related to the

    problem, cause when I put it elsewhere, it seems to work.

     

    If I open from a different folder first, then from documents/eagle, it

    seems to open fine. If I close eagle, rerun, then open from

    documents/eagle first, it crashes.

     

    My eagle is installed in the non default folder "C:\Program

    Files\EAGLE-7.5.4"

     

    Are there any debug log I can enable and send you?

     

     

    I should add that I'm using the 64 bit version.

     

    More to add.. This does NOT happen on 6.5.4, just 7.5.x

     

     

    Okay, I see.... is under investigation .....

    I found the library in the web, but I can't reproduce the problem.

     

    I have a project active, the library editor open and the a component

    of the library used in schematic/board. Then I quit EAGLE and restart

    it. All editor windows re-appear. No problem detectable.....

     

    I also do not see any problems in the EAGLE 3.55 library file.
