[Plplot-devel] Re: tkwin build succeeded. Now need a way to test it

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

On my current system under wish and after
load libplplotd.so.5.1.0 Plplotter

% file join [file dirname [info library]] plplot5.1.0
/usr/lib/plplot5.1.0

Later, we install many of our files including the tk/tcl ones into the
$prefix/lib/plplot5.1.0 tree.  In my case prefix is /usr/local/plplot so
that is not compatible with the above result.  But that is a separate issue
which we will have to sort out eventually.

For now, the question is how to get everything to work in plplot/tmp. If
wish is looking for stuff in /usr/lib/plplot5.1.0, then it is not going to
find anything.  Like before, I believe it is a question of somehow putting
the current directory "." on the list of directories that it searches.
