In my first attempts I followed the instructions on the wiki, i.e.: c:\path\to\cmake \path\to\source -G "MinGW Makefiles" However this failed here: -- Looking for gdi32 header and library -- Looking for gdi32 header and library - found At which point a dialog box pops up: Title: "Windows - No Disk" Message: "Exception Processing Message XX Parameters YY YY YY" Buttons: "Cancel, Try Again, Continue" So I was using the cmake GUI instead, which works nicely for plplot5.9.4 but for some reason gives the c++ error with plplot-svn-head. Going back to the command line cmake I don't see the C++ problem with plplot-svn-head but I am again hung up on whatever the gdi32 problem is. >> (2) When I try to run a python example I get "ImportError: No module >> named _plplotc".

Thanks. It looks helpful. I assume that the copying step is still necessary? -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
