Again, I cannot reproduce the problem you have reported. I configured
exactly as you above on a clean checkout.  All the major flags at the end o=
f
config message were identical to yours.  The driver lists looked the same
(although that should not matter). My system found f77 rather than g77, but
on Debian woody that is a symlink to g77.

I get the following:

f77 --version
GNU Fortran 0.5.25 20010319 (prerelease)
[+ lots of stuff about the lack of warranty, etc.]

m4 --version
GNU m4 1.4

make fdemos works like a charm, and I even tried x06f and x07f and they
produced the same boring (;-) results as always.

I can think of two possibilities.

(1) Somehow your plplot system is confused by
a mix of old and new results.  Please try again with a clean checkout (if
you didn't have that already).

(2) I am also somewhat concerned about the two-yr old date on your g77
compiler compared to mine.  Maybe there is too long a line (as mentioned in
one of your error messages) for your old compiler.  In that case, find the
longest line in your x06f.f source, find the equivalent line in x06f.fm4 an=
d
split it into two lines (by using almost any character in the 6th column fo=
r
the continued line as you can see from other *.fm4 files that have
continuations) and try again.  If a line split solves the problem, go ahead
and commit the modified x06f.fm4 results.  And similarly for x07f.fm4
assuming that problem is due to the same cause.

I don't want this to drag on so while Joao is doing further tests with
clean checkouts/and or line splitting will others please take a few
minutes to try to reproduce the bug?  We may need more eyeballs on this
one to solve it, and I am hamstrung because I cannot reproduce it.

Thanks in advance.
