[Plplot-general] Re: Installing Plplot under AIX

Thanks Jo=E3o for sending the modified pstex.c.  However,when I tried 
the new version of pstex.c under the AIX compiler (xlc), I now get 
the following errors:

         xlc -fpic -c -qcpluscmt             -I. pstex.c

I have been able to successfully install plplot-5.0.4 under AIX using 
the following configure line:

configure --prefix=3D/tmp/gpfs200a/dspong/plplot-5.0.4 --with-gcc \
  --enable-tcl=3Dno --enable-tk=3Dno --enable-itcl=3Dno

This is then followed by the usual make and make install commands.  I 
can live with this for now as I can apparently link to the 
gcc-compiled plplot from AIX compiled code without problems.  I'll 
also look into getting tk and tck installed.
