Title: "Unknown color red" -- where should I be looking?
Submitter: Phil Edwards
Date: Tue Apr 24 21:37:35 2001
Subsys: Dot
Version: 1.5.1
System: x86-Linux-Red Hat 7.0
Severity: minor
Problem:
Using the color name "red" causes an error when creating GIFs via dot. Plenty of other red things are on my screen, so I assume that dot is being confused. I don't know whether it's a problem in dot itself, or whether I need to alter its runtime environment somehow, so I would appreciate any tips on how I should start hunting this down.
Input:
digraph inheritance
{
  Node9 [shape="box",label="Truncated",fontsize=10,height=0.2,width=0.4,color="red",URL="$class_truncated.html"];
}
Comments: It'd be nice to know where it builds up its path to look for fonts, too.
Fix: Concerns the need to set LC_COLLATE=C during build.
