You have not given us enough information.

At minimum please give us _all_ the output from the compilation of gcw.c.
Start with the previous libtool command that starts with "if /bin/sh
../../../libtool"

The full ./configure output (captured using "./configure --YOUROPTIONS >&
configure.out" and sent as an attachment) would be useful as well.

Sure, the stdout and stderr output of configure and make are attached in 
two files.
I did not use any command line options for configure or make.

Thanks, Vinod, for that full information.  You have found a bug in our gcw.c
device driver. To work around it, turn off the gcw device by using the
configure option --disable-gcw.  (BTW, you should probably also specify the
./configure --prefix=whatever option.  See "./configure --help" for more
information.)

To the developers lurking on list.  I replicated the bug by the following
combination of ./configure options (a corner case Vinod tripped over because
he didn't have certain fonts installed.)

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/plplot --disable-static --without-freetype

Tom, I recall similar errors with ps.c in the past, but I cannot recall how
we fixed it.  I think we had to change the ps configuration, some
conditional compilation flags, or we may have had to move some code to a
better file location that was not affected by #ifdef HAVE_FREETYPE.

I also tried the additional --disable-gcw option above to make sure ps.c
worked with the --without-freetype option, and it does. So Tom, if for gcw.c
you follow what is done for the ps.c case for font lookup functions, you
should be all right.

Thanks Alan. Now make works but make install returns a couple of errors. 
make-install.out is attached.

Sorry, Vinod, I cannot reproduce this problem on my Debian stable system
so we are going to need a lot more detail to figure out what is wrong
with the way that libcsirocsa and/or libplplotd are configured and built
on your RHEL3 system.

So please start fresh again (starting with a fresh unpack of the tarball
with everything removed from the prefix area that was installed before).
Then give us the *.out files generated by

./configure --your options >& configure.out
make >& make.out
make install >& make_install.out

Some of this may seem repetitive, but we may get some significant changes
(or the install might even work) when you do everything from a fresh start.
Also, a fresh start means we will see every step in the configuration,
build, and install process rather than just the previous partial results,
and the full results will make this easier for us to figure this out.

Rafael, I am sure it is something in our Makefile.am files that needs to be
changed to more standard form for the csiro libraries, but unless you can
spot something by quick visual inspection, I believe the requested extra
details from Vinod (see above) will be necessary for one of us to figure
this out.

I do not think that the problem is on our side.  It may be that Vinod is
doing something non-conventional with --prefix and DESTDIR.  Vinod: we
need to know *_exactly_* the commands that you issued for configure,
make, and make install (i.e. we need all the arguments you gave in the
command line), as well as the full output of the commands.
