Hi Udo: I am CCing my reply to the plplot_devel list, and I suggest you subscribe to that list if you want to pursue this further. Thanks for your solaris x86 report. To respond to the part of your report I quoted above, we'll probably keep the old configure method for a little while longer, but not in the long run because that method is unmaintained, and the new cmake-based method produces faster configurations and builds, it is easier for us to maintain, and works on more platforms than the old method. However, up to now we have not had any solaris x86 reports for our cmake build system so your cmake feedback for that platform would be most appreciated. All you need to do is follow the instructions at http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/. For example, to address the availability of cmake issue that you raised, follow the link on our wiki to http://cmake.org/HTML/Install.html which gives clear instructions on how to build cmake from source for any Unix system when no binary version is available (as in the solaris x86 case).
