[Plplot-devel] xwin problem

[Sebastian K. <se...@he...>]

Hi folks, i'm new to plplot but it seems like a great product.  On most
of the machines i work with it works great, but two have problems with
the xwin driver.  When i call plinit() it creates a window, immediately
destroys it, then hangs.  One machine is running Debian Woody (XF86
4.1.0, glibc 2.2.5) and the other's running a Sarge/Sid hybrid (XF 4.2.1,
glibc 2.3.1).  The Gnome driver works fine on both.  I'm using the plplot
.debs from sourceforge: 5.2.0.cvs.20030403-1.


Here's the output from "./x07c -verbose -debug -dev xwin":

plLoadDriver: Device not loaded!

When i run the same app on this same machine, but displaying over the
net to another box, it works.  Here's that output:

Hm, those are identical except for the image size, so it's probably not
very useful.  What more information can i provide for you?  An ltrace
or strace perhaps?
