[Plplot-general] Problem with plrender tk driver for plplot-5.2.1

[Dave N. <wd...@la...>]

I have installed plplot-5.2.1 and generated a plmeta file that I want t=
o look
at with plrender.  When I attempt to use the tk driver which has suppor=
t for
zooming, I receive the following error message.  At the suggestion of G=
eoff
Furnish, I tried using plplot-5.1.0 and the plrender tk driver seems to=
 work
fine there.  I don't know if there is something about the usage that ha=
s
changed between plplot-5.2.1 and plplot-5.1.0 that is causing this prob=
lem or
whether there is a bug in plplot-5.2.1 related to the plrender tk drive=
r.

Also, I did a cvs checkout of plplot using the following command:

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/plplot co pl=
plot

to obtain a copy of the head version to see if the problem had been fix=
ed in
the head version.  When I tried to build the head version, there was no=

configure script.  Could someone tell me how to generate the configure =
script
for the cvs head version?

Thanks,
