[Olsr-users] Olsr_dot_draw plugin runs only once, why ?

[Saverio Proto]

If you do

 git log -- lib/dot_draw/

you can see that is very few commits touching that code.

we fixed a similar bug in 2010, look at commit:
34197cc4ac2d85d2b29ccc35c37faecbae5f3384

Abubakr Ali: are you sure you are running the latest version also of
the plugin ?
What Linux version are you in ? Is possible that you are running olsrd
of one version and outdated plugins of another version ?
