Hi Hiro:

Try this:

cd examples/python

./x01 -dev xwin

Does that work?

To explain the above, xw??.py are not standalone python scripts.  Instead,
x?? are standalone python scripts that import xw??.py.

Hope that helps with how you should test your PLplot installation.

Currently, I just have python-2.5 installed, but I believe others here have
used 2.6 without troubles.  Our CMake-based build system simply finds the
latest python installation on your system and uses that (which I assume
would be 2.6 in your case). It's possible for you to run into trouble if you
had say a python-2.6 installation (which PLplot would use) while the python
command itself pointed to your python-2.5 installation rather than your
python-2.6 installation.

Let us know how it goes.

Alan
