Hi Randall:

Our developers use plplot-cvs to keep track of what has recently been
committed and hardly anything else so in future it might be a better idea
to post to plplot-general (or plplot-devel).  I am responding on
plplot-general for that reason.

On plplot-general there has been a recent thread on exactly this question
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3001776&forum_id=4474).

The upshot is I am still waiting for libtool-1.5 to be re-released (after
GNU finishes checking there is no malignant code in that tarball from the
cracker that owned their system for many months).

At present rates of GNU checking (10 tarballs checked per day with roughly
500 to go) it may be as much as another month or two.  However, watch
plplot-general for an announcement about a test tarball for macosx and
cygwin users almost as soon as libtool-1.5 is available again.

Alan
