[Plplot-devel] runAllDemos.tcl had problem for plserver which I just fixed

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

Vince,

Here is the error message I got:

./plserver
% source ../examples/tk/runAllDemos.tcl
Can't open drivers/driversd.db

This sequence of commands used to work fine.

This problem was caused by the cd command in runAllDemos.tcl that you put in
recently.  Once out of the plplot/tmp directory, then ./drivers/driversd.db
(presumably used by some of the plserver boiler plate although in this case
tk is a static device) could no longer be found.  I don't think this would
have been a problem, if I had already installed plplot, but to keep issues
as simple as possible I always clean out the installed version of plplot
before my plplot/tmp testing.

In this case the fix was simple, and I don't think there are any side
effects.  I have just committed a change that replaces the unnecessary cd
command in runAllDemos.tcl.  This works for me for both plserver and wish.
Does it cause any problems for you?

Alan
