[Plplot-devel] plplot-5.2.0 / redhat 8.0 (fwd)

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

I am forwarding this report from Matt Newville in the hopes that somebody
can confirm it on their RH 8.0 system or know what further questions to ask.

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --enable-dyndrivers
  make
  make install
  cd examples/c
  gcc -g -O -o x01c x01c.c -I/usr/local/include/plplot -L/usr/local/lib -lplplot -lm -lc

So far so good. On top of that, '/x01c -dev XXX' appears to work
correctly for XXX=(png,jpeg,ps,xfig).  Things are looking up.
However, as others have seen, './x01c -dev xwin' reports:

 Plplot library version: 5.2.0
 X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  10
  Current serial number in output stream:  14

In addition, './x01c -dev tk' reports:

 Plplot library version: 5.2.0
 X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command
 ignored
     while executing
 "send $client "set server_name [list $server_name]""
     (procedure "plserver_link_init" line 25)
     invoked from within
 "plserver_link_init"
     (procedure "plserver_init" line 85)
     invoked from within
 "plserver_init"

I am tunneling X through ssh, but that's pretty standard practice
these days...

Thanks for all your help,
