Hi, on a SuSE 7.3 system we see this error while trying to run the x01c example: ----------8<---------- *** PLPLOT ERROR *** Unable to open or allocate memory for font file Program aborted ---------->8---------- Is this a known issue? Do I have to set some environment variables first?

All the examples in /usr/share/doc/libplplot5/examples/c/ compile well. However, when I try to execute them and I select the tk driver (other drivers work fine), the tk window does not open well (it stays uniformly gray) and the program then asks Enter device number or keyword (stream 1): even though this is not requested in the source. I have to kill the program. Any idea about what is wrong? Also, why is the xwin driver removed from plplot-tcl ? As I understand it, plplot-tcl is a separate package to allow the use of plplot without depending on tcl/tk. But one may want to use (test with) the xwin driver _and_ the tk driver...

It may be a problem with the PLplot Debian packages only, or a bad combination of packages in your system. > Also, why is the xwin driver removed from plplot-tcl ?

Yes, this is the reason. > But one may want to use (test with) the xwin driver _and_ the tk driver... Just install both plplot-xwin and plplot-tcl. Another question to the developers: does the tk driver needs the xwin driver? If yes, I have to add a dependency field to the Debian package. -- Rafael |

If yes, I have to add a dependency field to the Debian package. Yes; installing the xwin driver corrected the problem. BTW, it would be nice to have a Release file in http://plplot.sourceforge.net/resources/debian/ so as to be able to use /etc/apt/preferences to select the repository access policy. Regards, ChriS |

Very good idea. Will be done soon. I will upload today a new set of cvs packages to the apt repository @ SF. The most visible improvement is the inclusion of freetype support for the GD driver. Png and jpeg outputs look great when option "-drvopt text" is given. -- Rafael |

Do I have to set some environment variables > first? I must guess here since you have given no details, but you probably tried to use make check which is currently only partially supported. In order for that to work you must run make install first to install data such as fonts and drivers in the configured install location. Probably a cleaner alternative to make check is to run make install, then cd to the *installed* version of examples/c, then make x01c; ./x01c . > > Another thing is that on Debian unstable libtool fails: > > ----------8<---------- > make[2]: Entering directory `/home/robert/tmp/plplot-5.2.0/bindings/f77' > /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile -c -o strutil.lo `test -f > 'strutil.f' || echo './'`strutil.f > libtool: unrecognized option `-c' > Try `libtool --help' for more information. > make[2]: *** [strutil.lo] Error 1 > make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/robert/tmp/plplot-5.2.0/bindings/f77' > make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/robert/tmp/plplot-5.2.0/bindings' > make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > robert@ganymed:~/tmp/plplot-5.2.0> libtool --version > ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.3 (1.922.2.111 2002/10/23 02:54:36) > ----------8<---------- > > Which version is known to work? This should be put into the FAQ... For the tarball version you should not run bootstrap.sh since it has already been done for you with the correct autotools versions. Instead, just run configure; make; make install. However, you do need to run bootstrap.sh if you want to use the cvs version of Plplot (now stabilizing for our next release). In that case, you must use the following exact versions of autotools: autoconf-2.57, automake-1.7.2, and libtool-1.4.3. (We have to be careful with autotools versions because those various tools are changing so rapidly with respect to each other and overall.) Your comment about the FAQ is a good one. PLplot-5.2.0 has an enormous number of changes under the hood compared to 5.1.0 (complete driver and library reorganization, changing from autoconf to autotools configuration), but unfortunately there was no time to document these changes, and the documentation is still almost entirely for the 5.1.0 version. For our next release in April, I hope to close this documentation gap a bit, but my time continues to be quite limited so it would be nice to find additional volunteers to help out.

Hmm, the colleague who tried it just promised that he didn't run 'make check', he just did 'make install' as root. After he changed --prefix= to somewhere else it seems to work now! > For the tarball version you should not run bootstrap.sh since it has already > been done for you with the correct autotools versions.
