Re: [Plplot-devel] New problems

[<jca...@in...>]

The mailing list "reply" is again broken. Just leave it that way, we=20
will get used to it this way.

I forgot to say, in other then the plplot tmp dir=20

As a matter of fact the pstex driver is not working after install,=20
but I already was expecting that, as you can see in the relevant=20
comments in dyndrv.in.

By the way, Geoffrey, you are not working in linux, are you?

The dlopen() man page says:

       External  references in the library [jc: the dlopened program]=20
       are resolved using the libraries in that library's dependency =20
       list [jc: I (we?) don't want that] and any  other
       libraries previously opened with the RTLD_GLOBAL flag

[jc: so I guess that in linux the loader opens the libraries the=20
executable was linked against, with RTLD_GLOBAL, and=20
as such their symbols are available to the dlopened program].
 =20
       If the executable was linked with the flag "-rdynamic",  then
       the  global symbols in the executable will also be used to
       resolve references in a dynamically loaded library.
