[Plplot-general] PLplot on SGI - Xlib problems

[Brian H. T. <Bri...@ni...>]

Has anyone gotten PLplot to work on SGI's? I had some problems getting
through the make until I switched to the GNU make. Much later I reread
the announcement that explained why. (Suggestion: please put a note
about using GNU make rather than the native make somewhere near the top
of the INSTALL file).

In any case, I was able to compile and install PLplot under IRIX 6.2 &
6.5, but hit an error running the demos on the xwin device:

hora 247% ./x01c
Plplot library version: 5.1.0

Plotting Options:
 < 1> xwin       X-Window (Xlib)
...
Enter device number or keyword: 1
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  12
  Current serial number in output stream:  16

Same problem with x01f. Anybody got a fix?

Brian
