Glad to see you are making such good progress. When answering your previous e-mail, I also thought of the symlink solution but I thought the force option for installing plplot would effectively do the same thing (although I might be wrong since I have never tried something like that myself). To answer your other question, libg2c.a is associated with the fortran (g77) library. Currently, our plplot library is both for C and fortran. (A split of the two is being considered for the future.) So you probably have to install g77 or perhaps associated libraries on your Mandrake system to get everything to work properly. Once you find what other package needs to be installed, please let me know privately, and I will pass it on to the Mandrake packager so he can put that extra dependency in. I definitely would not eliminate the need for libg2c.a like you did. For example, I doubt that for your present configuration, the fortran examples will work.
