| Yes, I know, I have compiled gcc-3.2.1 myself and plplot_octave (not
| plplot)
|
| does not compile. It looks like that  class vector string is missing:

The problem has a simple solution, just type the following in the plplot=20
'tmp' directory when "make" gives the error:

sed 's/ string / std::string /' plplot_octave.cc > po
mv po plplot_octave.cc

Don't forget the spaces in the sed command, just copy/paste the above
and then resume the make. I have done it with the current cvs tree and=20
plplot_octave compiled and runs OK.

However, you will find that plplot_octave gives some warnings with=20
octave-2.1.40.

Thanks,
