Yes, Chapter 23 (http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.7.4/os-notes.html) was completely out of date so I have now replaced that. For the detailed PLplot build instructions I currently only refer to the wiki, but that material should be incorporated into os-notes.xml when time permits. Currently, the pkg-config documentation in os-notes.xml is rudimentary (it only refers to the example builds). What we need is a volunteer to document that preferred pkg-config method of obtaining compile and link flags for builds of software that utilize the PLplot libraries. That material should first go on the wiki (with os-notes.xml pointing to it) then eventually be incorporated into os-notes.xml. BTW, I am pressed for time so I haven't actually looked at documentation generated by the new os-notes.xml so that should be checked before the next release. However, the new material does validate and looks okay in docbook/xml form. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
