Re: [Plplot-devel] Trouble with plplot-config

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Thanks, Geoffrey for attempting to follow my suggestion of doing the PLplot
build with the intel compiler.

It's been a while now, but if memory serves others who have reported their
results on list (or perhaps off list to me) have gotten the intel build of
PLplot to work before you.  I don't remember any details, but I encourage
you to keep trying.

Because plgridd.c needs a definition of NaN (and probably other NaN related
stuff) regardless of whether libcsirocsa is built or not.

Its possible the solution is to make sure your C includes are the ones
required by the intel compiler.  See the --includedir=DIR documentation
available from ./configure --help.  Alternatively you may need a special
CFLAGS for the intel compiler so that NaN is defined.  If neither of those
options work, you will have to do something special in the plgridd.c code to
define NaN for the intel compiler case.

Once you get the intel compiler build of PLplot to work, let's preserve the
details in the INSTALL file so we don't have to go through this again
for the next user who wants to use the Intel compiler.
