[Plplot-devel] Linux (Debian potato, Debian woody, and SuSe), Solaris, and OSF1 are all looking good with the new configuration scheme

That issue has now been fixed so OSF1 is now officially perfect except for
expected problems with c++ and octave associated with the gcc-3.0 compiler
that Joao is stuck with on that particular platform.

That concludes my OSF1 effort.

I also just generated a test tarball from cvs checkout and running
.bootstrap.sh.  I tried that tarball on two computers at the SourceForge
compile farm, and the results were good.

An old Debian potato computer there builds (with dynamic drivers) and runs
plplot-test.sh (the complete test of all available examples with the default
psc device) fine with the tarball approach.  Same for a solaris computer.
Both computers are limited to just the c, c++, and f77 interfaces.  I didn't
bother trying a static driver build on either computer, but I am sure it
would be fine.  I have run both a dynamic driver build and a static driver
build on my home Debian woody system, and Joao has done the same on the OSF1
system available to him and on his own SuSe system so all signs are looking
good....

Time for the next person to step forward with a test of our new
configuration system either on their own Linux system of any Unix system
that is available to them.
