[cairo] cairo_surface_write_to_png & out of memory return status?

[P.Romero]

Ok, I somewhat figured out how to do this.
Installed gdb
Re-compiled pixman, cairo, and my program (GrADS) all with the -g option
Ran gdb and loaded the symbols for my program
Set the breakpoint at _cairo_error
Ran the program, hit the breakpoint and, sure enough, received the following
message from gdb:


Breakpoint 1, _cairo_error (status=CAIRO_STATUS_NO_MEMORY) at cairo.c:87
87          assert (_cairo_status_is_error (status));

Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install e2fsprogs.i386
expat.i386 fontconfig.i386 freetype.i386 glibc.i686 libICE.i386 libSM.i386
libX11.i386 libXau.i386 libXcursor.i386 libXdmcp.i386 libXext.i386
libXfixes.i386 libXmu.i386 libXpm.i386 libXrender.i386 libXt.i386
libpng.i386 libxcb.i386 zlib.i386

Now what????
Is there something specific I should be looking for?

Im assuming the message about the missing debuginfos is because none of
those additional libraries were compiled with debug info.

Please help.
Thanks,
P.Romero

setting a breakpoint on _cairo_error should show you where we first
enter an error state. That should give you some idea of what's going on.
