The check in the plplot package for the octave bindings is failing in Fedora rawhide. I point my finger at gcc 5.0.0 :), but I have no idea what is going on so just putting this out there.
plplot uses a swig generated interface for the octave wrapper. By the time the swig wrapper is calling the plplot C function I'm seeing UTF8 string pointers pointing to garbage (or perhaps just off by a byte, who knows). I've rebuilt swig, then octave, but no avail. So, I have no idea what is going on. test ouput is like: 5: x33c 5: 5: *** PLPLOT WARNING *** 5: Driver does not support native gradients, switching to software fallback gradient. 5: 5: 5: *** PLPLOT ERROR, ABORTING OPERATION *** 5: UTF-8 string is malformed: �*���*, aborting operation 5: 5: *** PLPLOT ERROR, ABORTING OPERATION *** 5: UTF-8 string is malformed: ��c��*, aborting operation 5: Output file name is /builddir/build/BUILD/plplot-5.10.0-git/fedora/ctest_examples_output_dir/x31o.p 5: 5: *** PLPLOT ERROR, ABORTING OPERATION *** 5: UTF-8 string is malformed: И|��*, aborting operation .... - Orion -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.nwra.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
