Hi Florian,

Thank you for your bug report.

I'll look into the problem.
So, could you let us know the exact error message you got?
Also, did you get the error at all times when writing a bzip2 file?

> At last, writing and reading of zipped xml documents seems to work reliably, but when I discovered the zipped document file I encountered a really strange folder hierarchy stored within the zip-file. In my case, it looks like the following (using Windows XP): C:->Projects->sbml->models->file.xml where all parts between the arrows are folders. Is this the normal behavior? Should the folders of the document's path be really stored this way?

This is obviously a bug in libSBML 3.2.0.
The SBML file (file.xml) is wrongly archived with the folder path name (C:\Projects\sbml\models\)
in the zip file due to the bug (the folder path portion should be deleted...).

I just fixed the bug and attached a zip file which contains the fixed source file
(src/sbmlSBMLWriter.cpp) and a patch file.

If possible, could you try the fix?
You can apply the fix by one of the following methods:

a) copy the fixed source file (SBMLWriter.cpp) to "src/sbml/SBMLWriter.cpp"
or
b) apply the patch by patch command as follows:
% cd /path/to/libsbml-3.2.0/
% patch -p1 < /path/to/patch_libsbml-320_20081003.diff


Thanks again for your bug report.
