Re: [Plplot-general] Build documentation

[Alexis P. <ale...@ma...>]

Thanks for the update.

I am using the latest PLplot (5.9.10) on Fedora 14, 64 bit. Compilers 
are : gcc 4.5.1, g++ and gfortran.

Concerning TCL, the version 8.5 is installed but not on a standard 
location (/usr/lib64). Is-it really a requirement for plplot ?
Otherwise, I don't see it mentionned in the INSTALL file.
Anyway, it is found by cmake (see below for an excerpt of the 
configuration), but build fails with :

../../src/libplplotd.so.12.0.0: undefined reference to `TclFormatInt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [bindings/tk/plserver] Error 1
make[1]: *** [bindings/tk/CMakeFiles/plserver.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Concerning the source directory, it's my fault not to have read the 
INSTALL file thoroughly. However, I like to be able to install softwares 
with just a quick glance at the example.
Indeed, an explanation concerning plplot_cmake would help a lot.



Cmake configuration (excerpt):
-- Found Tclsh: /usr/bin/tclsh (found version "8.5")
-- Found TCL: /usr/lib64/libtcl.so
