Error Message Could not read the file. Make sure its format is correct

[Ron Barnes]

I am trying to load one of your files. I chose "Chaune" because it appears to be the smallest file. I tried both the gedcom and the lyr files. both give me the same error message overlaid with a Loading file... box, nothig else happens.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04    I am executing from a terminal because when I try to execute the jar file I get an error from Ubuntu saying that the execute permission bit is not set. I have gone to preferences and checked the make this file executable box, but still get the same message.

Using a terminal the screen comes up but I get the error message. Here is what appears in the terminal:

private:/$ java -jar /media/40gigData/geneaquilt-1.0.4/geneaquilt-1.0.4.jar
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /media/40gigdata/geneaquilt-1.0.4/data/chaune.lyr (No such file or directory)

Hi,

You need to install the graphviz package first, it is required for
geneaquilt.

Best,
Jean-Daniel

Jean-Daniel,

Thank you for your reply, but:

I was quit certain that graphviz was already installed on the system. It was. However, I used synaptic to remove and reinstall graphviz. I then tried running geneaquilts again and got the same results. Keep in mind I am using data from your data file not creating my own. Do you have any other suggestions.

Ron

Is your file-system writable?
It should load it with the .ged file.

I had a problem recently, I'll check and make a new version, I think I
fixed it.
