I believe this is the problem for windows & Python versions > 2.4: http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.5.html#ports It says ".dll is no longer supported as a filename extension for extension modules. .pyd is now the only filename extension that will be searched for." So I was able to get Plplot & Python to work by changing "_plplotcmodule.dll" to "_plplotc.pyd" (note "_plplotcmodule.pyd" does not work) and making sure the all the PLplot dll's are in my system path. On windows we should probably check the version of Python and adjust the name accordingly. Also, we might consider installing the Python binding to "C:\PythonX\lib\site-packages\" instead of InstallPrefix\lib\site-packages. -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel
