## I use the community engine plugin with engine, when I start my app, the server starts up with the following error:

## Attempting to copy plugin assets from ‘E:/r/iv\_2/vendor/plugins/community\_engine/assets’ to ‘E:/r/iv\_2/public/plugin\_assets’ WARNING: Couldn’t create the public file structure for plugin ‘community\_engine’; Error follows: Invalid argument - E:/r/iv\_2/public/plugin\_assets/community\_engine/E: Attempting to copy plugin assets from ‘E:/r/iv\_2/vendor/plugins/community\_engine/engine\_plugins/tiny\_mce/public’ to ‘E:/r/iv\_2/public/plugin\_assets’ WARNING: Couldn’t create the public file structure for plugin ‘tiny\_mce’; Error follows: Invalid argument - E:/r/iv\_2/public/plugin\_assets/tiny\_mce/E:

Any idea? Thanks

Hi, I fixed this problem and submitted a test and patch for it on  
[lighthouseapp.com](http://lighthouseapp.com) over a month and a half ago. I’m not sure why it  
hasn’t been incorporated into the project yet, but here’s a link to  
the ticket on lighthouseapp with my patches in it. You can apply them  
using git-apply.

Dear Josh,

I am not sure it is related with fftw\_wisdom\_file. Examining gri\_fft.cc  
I appreciate the wisdom is loaded when the gri\_fft\_complex and others  
are called. But this is not the case. Nevertheless I created the  
.gr\_fftw\_wisdom with fftw3f-wisdom tool and moved to APPDATA path. The  
warnings still remain as usual: Invalid argument.

I used “grep -R “Invalid argument” \*” to locate this string in gnuradio  
and it does not appear in any place. So I guess it is with libraries. I  
bet it is with boost\_1.51.

Thanks.

I have a suspicion that its related to loading the fftw wisdom file.  
See if you can find the print here: ./src/lib/general/gri\_fft.cc

Moreover, I appreciate that for each session I start there is a file  
created with strange char name (&, , , ', and other rubbish), different  
for each session (so I have many of them). All of them contain  
“gr\_vmcircbuf\_createfilemapping\_factory, only this word. I guess maybe  
there is a sprintf(”%s") with rubbish, I do not know.

Any guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks.
