Hi xiaohai:

When you configure PLplot set the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX cmake option to the pathname of a non-existent directory that you have the adminstrative priviledge to create yourself.  Then when you run "nmake install" that directory will be created and filled up with the PLplot installation (which is much smaller than your build tree because unused files such as object files created by builds are not installed) to build applications that link with installed PLplot libraries and drivers.  Such examples (and both a traditional and CMake-based build system for them) are supplied in all our supported computer languages in the $PREFIX/share/plplot-5.15.0/examples source tree, where $PREFIX is the directory you chose above.

By the way, it sounds like you are making excellent progress with the nmake approach.  Good luck with the rest of your PLplot experience as well!

>>AM: An alternative would be to run the command window as administrator - if you search for the command prompt and right-click on the name that appears you get the choice to run it as a different user or as administrator.

Regards,

Arjen
