[Plplot-general] Solaris Installation Issues

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I am running into a peculiar installation problem while trying to install
PLplot-5.7.4 on Solaris.  I have been at this installation for quite awhile
and the problems I keep running into are strange and I am not sure how to
fix them.

I started my installation by basically installing everything I could via
cmake, but cmake's configuration results indicated that it could not find
libraries, include files, etc from the paths I gave it.  The paths I gave
cmake are correct.  I was at a loss from that point so I decided to try my
installation using ccmake.  I used the same paths as I was using in cmake
and everything was able to configure and then make correctly.  However when
I went to test PLplot (via the INSTALL post make instructions) I recieved
some wierd linking errors.

target=`echo all`; \
        list='c c++ f77 f95 tk java'; for subdir in $list; do \
          if test -d "$subdir"; then \
            echo "Making $target in $subdir"; \
            (cd $subdir && make $target); \
          fi; \
        done

So my next step was to start from scratch and gradually enable more bindings
and drivers.  So I went back to cmake and ran this following command, also I
am trying to create a static build, this is a requirement of my build.  I am
building this in a separate folder from the plplot source directory.

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/hall000s/SunOS/plplot                \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR=/home/hall000s/SunOS/plplot/bin
\
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_DATADIR=/home/hall000s/SunOS/plplot/share         \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_EXEC_PREFIX=/home/hall000s/SunOS/plplot          \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR=/home/hall000s/SunOS/plplot/include  \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_INFODIR=/home/hall000s/SunOS/plplot/share/info    \

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/home/hall000s/SunOS/plplot/lib                   \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_MANDIR=/home/hall000s/SunOS/plplot/share/man     \

-DDEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON
\

-DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON
\

-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
\

-DPKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/bin/pkg-config
\

-DPLD_ps=ON
\
      ../plplot-5.7.4

When the above cmake command is executed it shows the following output.

Notice that it did not find my pkg-config executable even though the path I
gave it is correct.  This occurs with some of the devices and bindings as
well.  However if I was to use ccmake and enter the same paths that I am
using for cmake I have success.  Has anyone ran into any problems like
this?  I appreciate any help with this problem.

Thank you in advance,
Scott
