Thus, I guess plserver is always attempting to access the installed version of the library rather than the plplot/tmp one. Perhaps this is the right way to do things? I am beginning to think that all these plplot/tmp issues are nothing but a maintenance headache, and we would be better off just supporting the installed version alone. (Of course, if anybody likes they can execute the plplot/tmp version if they set the appropriate environment variables as Joao just demonstrated.) Long ago when Rafael was working with his branch for automake/libtool PLplot configuration he came to a similar conclusion that it wasn't worth supporting special executables for plplot/tmp. I certainly objected then, but I am older and wiser, now....;-) Alan P.S. as part of my tests for this I tried out Joao's new ./x08c -rosen. Definitely cool! Alan |
