[Plplot-devel] Compiling PLPlot under Red Hat 9...?

[<zo...@eu...>]

Dear PLPlot developers,

I'm assembling a "complete" source distribution for PDL (pdl.perl.org);
we're about to issue an incremental release (2.4.1).  I'd like to include
the PLPlot source in the distribution, but I've run into several problems
compiling both 5.1.0 and 5.2.1 on a fairly standard Red Hat 9 system.

5.1.0 with "./configure; make; make install" seems to put all of its
compiled files into subdirectories of /usr/local/bin/
(e.g. /usr/local/bin/bin/ and /usr/local/bin/share/) instead of
/usr/local/.

5.2.1 won't compile at all.  Here's a cut and paste of the configure output
and the results from make.  Configure and make results are cut-and-pasted 
below.

Any suggestions for what instructions I should include for better compilation?
I'd like to include the PLPlot source in this bundle if it can be made to 
compile and install cleanly...

Cheers,
Craig
