GDL gives symbol lookup error

[devastator]

Hi, I have downloaded gdl-0.9pre6.tar.gz from here and tried to install to my laptop that running Ubuntu 7.10. So I did the following:

sudo apt-get install libreadline5-dev
sudo apt-get install libgsl0 libgsl0-dev
sudo apt-get install libmagick++9-dev

I have the plplot installed from Synaptic Package Manager.

I run the usual installation process:
./configure --with-readlinedir=/usr/lib/ --with-gsldir=/usr/lib/ --with-plplotdir=/usr/lib/ --with-Magick=/usr/lib/ --with-hdf=no --with-hdf5=no --with-netcdf=no --with-python=no
make
sudo make install

The GDL runs:
GDL> a=5
GDL> print,a
       5

but when I try to plot:
GDL> plot,dindgen(100),dindgen(100)
gdl: symbol lookup error: gdl: undefined symbol: _ZN8plstream6SetOptEPcS0_

Does anyone know what cause this and how can I fix it? I'm not sure what other info I need to post here and please let me know if there is any suggestion.

Many thanks for the help.

Please give a chance to the current 0.9rc1 version,
which is more recent than the 0.9pre6 you mention

As mentioned in a recent message, I compiled it on different
computers (rpm' like and .deb like) using:

aclocal
autoconf
automake
  ./configure --without-hdf5 --with-Magick=no --without-netcdf --without-hdf --with-plplot=/home/coulais/GDL/plplot-5.9.0/Compilation/

because the plot was compiled in local directory ...

On some computers, I do have had some troubles which may be are the same than you have,
and problems where solved using :

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/coulais/GDL/plplot-5.9.0/Compilation/
(obviously, you have to adapt it !)

Thas occurs on a Scientific linux but also on a computer
I used to play with several configurations
(old plplot versions for testing purposes ...)

If an expert could give some explainations or a link about this
weakness, we will be happy to improve our configure.in !
