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

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

Maurice,

Thanks very much for fixing these problems with the installed tkwin.

BTW, I did the same relink with different rpath for libplplottcltk[d].so.
Please change that as well if you think it will make a difference. For that
(and tkwin, tk, and xwin) I was naively following exactly what was done
before for the executables such as plserver, and the plplotc python
extension module, plplotcmodule.so, but for those examples it doesn't seem
to matter so much that after install ldd in plplot/tmp indicates they are
finding the libraries in the install location rather than plplot/tmp.

I guess with tcl/tk the rpath the library is linked with is more important
than with the usual executable or shared object.

Anyhow, it looks like you cracked it, and much thanks for that.

I will do a complete test of everything tomorrow to verify your changes work
here.  Also, I will try once again to get auto_path to work (this time
spelled correctly! Last time I was using autopath which is why nothing
worked.)   Basically I am thinking of

lappend auto_path /usr/local/plplot/lib/plplot5.1.0/tcl

the symlink I discussed before, and a modified pkgIndex.tcl

to see if the wish recipe can be simplified when plplot is installed.

But you are much better at tcl than me so if you have time tonight I invite
you (;-)) to please see what you can do yourself to get

package require Plplotter

working like Vince said was possible for the installed version.

Alan
