[Plplot-devel] Bugs...

[Joao C. <jc...@fe...>]

Hi,

I had to restart some work, old by almost an year, and decided to use the=
=20
current plplot cvs. I found of course some bugs.

1-if I don't specify the --prefix during configure, than INSTALL_RPATH is=
=20
NONE/lib. I have to specify --prefix=3D/usr/local or /usr/local/plplot.

2-x10c.c looks different in the tk and xwin driver. I have removed the DP=
MM=20
define, which is now in plplotP.h. Please check it is now OK. I also remo=
ved=20
the definition from tkwin.c.

3-plsurf3d() seems to fail is the z matrix is all zeros (or all values ha=
ve=20
the same amplitude?).

4-x08c.java works OK only for the first set of plots, than it fails. I al=
ready=20
knew this on, this is just a reminder (and a request for help).

5-"make install" needs a plain "make" before. Not a serious issue, but a=20
target could be added. Also, a plain "make x01c" after configure don't bu=
ild=20
the dynamic drivers, one has to do "make dynamic_drivers_target" -- what =
a=20
long name!

6-the tk drivers ignore plconfig.tcl if it is in the user directory ~/tcl=
 and=20
a tclIndex file is generated. "auto_path" is correctly initialized to ~/t=
cl,=20
`pwd`/tcl, etc, but plconfig is not executed. As a matter of fact, even i=
f I=20
put a modified pldefaults.tcl in ~/tcl or `pwd`/tcl it is ignored. This i=
s=20
serious, at least for me. I'm now using a modified pldefaults.tcl in the=20
install directory.

7-the tk driver ignores the "-plwind" command line option, as it override=
s=20
pls->plwind with pls->programs. I have corrected this one.

Well, sorry for the terse report, but I'm now busy.

Thanks,
Joao
