[Plplot-devel] testing plplot

[Robert S. <ro...@sc...>]

Hi,

I just gave the CVS version of plplot a try. This is mostly a SuSE 7.2
system.

If I understand the instructions correctly I have to run autoconf in the
cf/ directory to generate the configure script. But autoconf breaks here:

----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------
