[Gnuplot-info] issue with building latest gnuplot version on opensuse

[Dieter J. <die...@t-...>]

Dear listmembers,
trying to build the latest released version of gnuplot (4.2.3) on opensuse 
10.3 causes issues.
The reason for this is buried in the app-defaults configuration:

1.) in src/gplt_x11.c there is a #define for AppDefDir that does not fit to 
the configuration that is being used by opensuse 
(/usr/share/X11/app-defaults).
Why not configure this via configure? I am sorry to have to admit that it is 
unclear to me how to modify configure.in in order to make this parameter get 
into config.h (this would IMHO be the appropriate location).
2.) in share/Makefile.am the app-defaults path is defined by 
appdefaultdir = $(libdir)/X11/app-defaults
this should be overrideable by some configuration ( see 1.) ), the way it is 
now does not comply to what is required by the opensuse conventions.

It would be great if someone could look into this,
thank you very much,
take care
