Re: [Plplot-devel] prescription for loading tkwin driver?

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

I have gotten that error before, but not now.  It may have something to do
with the rpath link option used for the lastest link of
drivers/tkwin_drv.so, and that depends on whether plplot has been installed
or not.

What does ldd say about drivers/tkwin[d]_drv.so?

In my case:

ldd drivers/tkwind_drv.so
        libtcl8.3.so.1 => /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so.1 (0x4001a000)
        libtk8.3.so.1 => /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so.1 (0x4009f000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40152000)
        libplplottcltkd.so.5 => /home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/plplot_working5/tmp/libplplottcltkd.so.5 (0x4022c000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4024a000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40367000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4036a000)
        libplplotd.so.5 => /usr/local/plplot/lib/libplplotd.so.5 (0x4038b000)
        libtclmatrixd.so.5 => /usr/local/plplot/lib/libtclmatrixd.so.5 (0x403cc000)
        libitcl3.1.so.1 => /usr/lib/libitcl3.1.so.1 (0x403d0000)
        libitk3.1.so.1 => /usr/lib/libitk3.1.so.1 (0x403eb000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

Note it is picking up the plplot/tmp versions of the libraries.

To get back to this pre-install state, rm plplot/tmp/drivers/tkwin_drv.so and
run make to recreate it with the correct (plplot/tmp) rpath.  I hope
that fixes the problem on your system.

Sorry this is so iffy right now, but I am sure it will get much better as
soon as we know how to inform the installed version where to find things.
