Re: [Plplot-general] PLplot on SGI - Xlib problems

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

My *guess* is we ran into this exact same problem before with Solaris.
Maurice provided a fix that consisted (in part) of the following stanza in
cf/configure.in

case $system in
    SunOS-* )
        AC_DEFINE(USE_DEFAULT_VISUAL)
        ;;
    * )
esac

Please try changing SunOS-* to the appropriate string to identify your OS
and let us know (after make configure; ./configure etc., in the parent
directory) whether that fixes the problem.
