[Plplot-devel] The infamous "missing" strikes again

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

Hi,

After a fresh cvs checkout, running bootstrap.sh

[jcard@feup] ./bootstrap.sh=20
Running aclocal (GNU automake) 1.7.2... done
Running autoheader (GNU Autoconf) 2.57... done
Running automake (GNU automake) 1.7.2... done
Running libtoolize (GNU libtool) 1.4.3... done
Running autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57... done

taring, ftp to an  alphaev6-dec-osf4.0f system, untaring and running conf=
igure=20
gave several errors:

The summary gave

Optional libraries:
with_freetype:  no              with_qhull:     yes

although qhull was not detected!

Then, after removing all, untaring again and reconfiguring with=20
--prefix=3D<xxx> --disable-static --without-qhull

besides the above errors gave:

bash-2.01$ make

configuring a second time and making again worked, but latter
