I took a look at PDL::Graphics::PLplot on my Debian machine
sudo apt-get install libplplot-dev plplot12-driver-xwin # Version:
5.10.0+dfsg-1
I needed to use the following command to set the library path and
install
PLPLOT_LIBDIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" cpanm --verbose
PDL::Graphics::PLplot
Should I add that to the list in the Makefile.PL at
<https://sourceforge.net/p/pdl/pdl-graphics-plplot/ci/master/tree/>? By
the way, the package should throw an error if it can not find
`libplplotd.so`. The first time I ran `cpanm`, I thought that the
package installed successfully even though it had not:
| Cannot find plplot library (libplplotd.so), skipping PDL::Graphics::PLplot
|
| Not building PDL::Graphics::PLplot
|
| make: Nothing to be done for 'test'.
| make: Nothing to be done for 'install'.
| OK
| Successfully installed PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.67 (upgraded from 0.67)
| 1 distribution installed
I used the example from
<http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.10.0/perl.html> and
it worked fine as can be seen here
<http://i.imgur.com/x1FwB7H.png>.
Hitting the X button in my window manager closes the window and exits the
program gracefully, so I believe that bug SF#268 is no longer valid
<https://sourceforge.net/p/pdl/bugs/268/>.
