I doubt it since I have never seen any change in fundamental ctest results based on the options used to run it. For the record, however, I ran ctest as follows: ctest -R '_c$|perl|compare' > Is it possible you are running with an old x02.pl? No. I just double checked with an svn update to a clean source tree (revision 9041) and clean (starting with an empty build tree) build and ctest. The large number of x02c.psc versus x02pdl.psc color differences (of the kind I posted before) remain while there are no x20 differences (which I think you actually dealt with later so it is pretty clear I am running your latest uploaded work). Could you double check with a fresh checkout and clean build of PLplot and a fresh download and build of PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.42.tar.gz? In case our different results are due to some platform difference I am running Debian lenny with perl 5.10.0-17 and pdl 1:2.4.3-8 and following the 0.42 update directions in examples/perl/README.perldemos. Could you please also review those update directions to be sure they are correct? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
