[linux-audio-dev] question about a c++ error

Greetings: This is perhaps a bit OT (or more than a bit). I'm eager to work with a new macro for Open Office that inserts LilyPond-encoded music fragments into an OOo document, but I've hit an unusual snag. The macro is installed correctly, but when I try to use it I receive this error: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error' what():basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid It almost looks poetic. :) Alas, Google wasn't much help, and the author of the macro has no idea why this error results (his code contains no C++). Can any C++ guru here shed any light on the how/what/why of the error ? Maybe even suggest a fix ? LilyPond 2.8.4, OOo 2.03, and I'll be happy to supply any other needed information. And yes, the error has been posted on the LP dev list. Best, dp
