Re: [Plplot-general] Macintosh Port of PLplot

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Tom,

I don't have a Mac or Codewarrior so cannot help you very much, but one
comment on your request is you should always include the exact
version of plplot in your report.  You refer to the Mac port, but what
version of the software does this correspond to?

Personally, I have found the developers snapshot for Jan 22 1999 to be quite
stable for Linux, and I suggest if you are using anything earlier than that
you should try an upgrade to see if that solves your problem.  I notice
on http://www.plplot.org/ there is mention of a Mac port right next to
mention of the developer's snapshot, but I am not clear whether those
correspond to essentially the same code base.

I was going to refer you to a link for the Jan 22 1999 version of plplot,
but it turns out that link is currently broken on our web site.  Bear with
us, we are still getting these "teething troubles" straightened out for
our new location at sourceforge.
