Hi Orion: I am virtually positive you meant the gcc-4.8 development effort which (as far as I can tell) has not had a single release yet. So I am changing the subject line accordingly. But please confirm that is what you meant. If you meant gcc-4.8, there is always the chance that the symptom you are seeing is a general problem caused by some recently introduced version incompatibilty between gcc and Ada that still needs to be worked out, i.e., a compiler inconsistency issue that has nothing to do with PLplot development. On the other hand, it might be a PLplot Ada issue that has been detected by (presumably) better error checking for the latest versions of gcc/Ada as you have suggested. To help decide between those two possibilities, could you give more details? For example, if you use the make -k option (to keep going despite errors) are you able to compile all the Ada examples other than the second one? If the issue is confined to just one of our examples, then it is much more likely a PLplot Ada issue with that example (or the API tested with that example) as you have suggested.
