[Plplot-devel] Fixes for the treatment of interdependent system libraries

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

I have just applied some Makefile.am changes that affect how interdependent
itk/tk/itcl/tcl/X system libraries are treated.  These changes don't affect
Linux (at least in my tests on Debian stable), but may affect Unix systems
with tcl/tk.  In particular the libitk/libtk ordering problem should now be
fixed on cygwin (although the other issue of only a subset of tcl being
available [subject to confirmation by Vince] is a tcl showstopper on cygwin
in any case.  The present changes should also squelch a libtclmatrix linking
bug reported on AIX some time ago.

Anyhow, those of you with access to Unix with tcl/tk installed (including
unix-only parts), please give this a try.
