[Plplot-devel] Problems Installing Plplot-5.2.0 under AIX (fwd)

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

Got this privately from Don Spong.

Seems that cerr (and some other .ostream function?) used by our C++ front
end is missing from AIX.

For now, I have suggested the workaround of disabling our C++ front end to
Don, but does anybody have any ideas about a permanent solution that would
allow building our C++ front end on AIX?

Maybe add -lstdc++ to the link line.  This is not necessary on my RH7.3 box,
but I don't know about other gcc installations.
