Hello! I took the 5.2.1 tarball and tried building under Mandrake 9.1. Ran ./configure and make . The build stalled with the libcsa not resolving "errno" . Also, where can I get octave from? Any ideas and help here would be appreciated. Regards, Dave Strang |

Thank so much. I added the header and it compiled further. It still will not compile any= of the examples. The make returns "nothing to do". Would this be related to no octave installation? I downloaded the rpm for Redhat (I heard somewhere that Mandrake is based upon Radhat), but the package manager reports the rpm has a bad signature. Is the signature necessary? I have the Redhat 9.0 package and it has octave 2.1-40 and probably the libblas, liblapack, libreadline libraries that are needed. Is there any way to install under Mandrake 9.1? Where do I go from here. All help is welcome. Regards, Dave Strang I've used earlier versions of PLPlot on my Amiga and an SGI Indigo as wel= l as earlier Linux packages, with little problem. The configuration issue is a little overwhelming. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Jo=E3o Cardoso" <jc...@fe...> To: "David Strang" <ds...@ch...>; <plp...@li...> Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 11:32 PM Subject: Re: [Plplot-general] PLPlot install issue > On Monday 10 November 2003 21:42, David Strang wrote: > | Hello! > | > | I took the 5.2.1 tarball and tried building under Mandrake 9.1. > | > | Ran ./configure and make . > | > | The build stalled with the libcsa not resolving "errno" . > > You must add > #include <errno.h> > > at lib/csa/csa.c, as in > > #include <string.h> > +#include <errno.h> > #include "version.h" > > | Also, where can I get octave from? > > www.octave.org > > but it depends what world are you from: nix/win/cygwin/mac/sources/rpm/deb?

Is > there any way to install under Mandrake 9.1? One interpretation of your remarks above is there is an rpm built for RH 9.0, but that is not the case; the last rpm we distributed was for PLplot-5.2.0 for RH 7.3 (i.e., an outdated version of PLplot on an outdated version of RedHat). (See http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2915 for our official file releases.) The reason that our rpm's are poorly supported is I don't have access to newer rpm-based distributions, and no other PLplot developer has shown interest in building rpm's. Given our poor support for rpm's I suggest you continue to try to make the tarball approach work. I understand that you applied one fix to get "make" to work with no further problems for the PLplot-5.2.1 tarball. After that, you merely have to make install cp -a $prefix/lib/plplot5.2.1/examples /tmp (where $prefix is whatever you specified in the configure step [or default /usr/local]) cd /tmp/examples/c make ./x01c etc. If you cannot get x01c to build and execute using the above method, let us know, and we will work through any further problems.

I've built the plpot rpm with octave and python support for the recent plpot distribution. The built was gone without problems. My mashine is working under sisyphus. Unfortunately I have no public place to put the src.rpm, rigth now. I could send you the spec file. best rgds, Valery |

That "poorly supported" remark I made above only refers to newer distro versions. In contrast I would characterize RedHat 7.3 (the rpm-based distribution I have access to) as well supported. For example, there is a working specfile for RedHat 7.3 in the latest snapshot tarballs at http://people.debian.org/~rafael/plplot.html. Look for rpm/plplot_redhat7.3.spec. That worked well on the September 15th snapshot, and I see no reason why it will not continue to work well for the combination of later cvs snapshots and RedHat 7.3 (although you will have to change the line %define version 5.2.1.cvs.20030915 to %define version 5.2.1.cvs.20031030 in the specfile to be consistent with the dated version that is currently available as the latest cvs snapshot.) It's important to start with plplot_redhat7.3.spec (modified as above) in the latest snapshot because it is completely consistent with all the changes since 5.2.1, and it supports virtually everything that is PLplot default except the linuxvga driver and java (AFAIK not officially available for RH7.3). Note, however, that specfile will likely need some minor adjustments to make it compatible with non-RH 7.3 Linux systems such as those of Valery. For example, if you are missing some key development packages on your rpm-based system, the configuration, make, and make install parts will adjust fine by themselves with no changes required, but you will have to comment out the appropriate lines in the file list area of the specfile for the parts of plplot that are not built and installed because of the lack of appropriate development packages.

Oops! That was badly worded. I meant "dated" in the sense that the version includes the date string "20031030" and not in the sense of being old. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
