[Gnuplot-bugs] TERMLIBS in the wrong order?

[Andy C. <and...@ho...>]

Hi guys,

I've had a problem with compiling gnuplot 4.0.0 on Linux. In the 
Makefile in the ./src directory, the libraries for zlib and libpng are 
listed in the wrong order: -lz is first. There are functions (e.g. 
deflate) which are in libz.a but they're not pulled in, because libpng.a 
hasn't been linked in yet (and by the time the linker gets to libpng.a, 
it's too late).

I was able to fix the problem by switching the -lz and the -lpng around 
in the ./src/Makefile.

P.S. forgive me if I made a mistake, I'm pretty much a novice at this...

HTH.
