I have already commented on the measures you can take so that cmake will find qhull, shapelib, and java. To add to those remarks concerning finding java, from your cmake.out it appears that the java compiler could not be found. So in addition to the possible CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH and CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH manipulations I mentioned in my last post, you likely have to install a development version of java that includes a java to bytecode compiler such as gcj, and a bytecode interpreter such as gij. With regard to the remaining two components, Qt4, and Ada, it appears our build system found them without trouble. > Running comprehensive_tests.sh the first time resulted in full > success, so that my screen was teeming with wxView windows which I cut > short.

Yes, comprehensive testing typically consists of loading up the platform and setting environment variables so that all PLplot soft dependencies are found, doing a comprehensive test to find out what components of PLplot fail, noting those, and iterating until you have a list of failing components and a successful complete run of the script for everything that you did not disable. If this is a platform where we have no previous information about comprehensive testing (SuSe is one of those), then probably all we will do this late in a release cycle is note (in the Wiki) the components that fail for a given platform. Then hopefully after the release if you are interested in expanding this comprehensive OpenSUSE test for the benefit of all users of that platform, then one of us can advise you component by component about what might be going wrong. I have finished such a process for Debian stable and some time ago and recently proved there were no regressions in that result, and I did something similar recently for an epa_built version of PLplot on Debian stable (and I plan to do a similar test of epa_built plplot-lite on MinGW/MSYS/Wine.) Andrew has similar good comprehensive testing results for Debian unstable and Ubuntu. But it does sound like OpenSUSE is not in as good shape. For example, your ctest.out file clearly shows that anything to do with qt segfaulted on OpenSUSE, and that is really valuable information for every other OpenSUSE user of plplot-5.11.0 which I plan to propagate to the wiki. To make further progress, exclude qt (look in CMakeCache.txt for a convenient variable to help you do that for every single different qt device at once) and try running the comprehensive_tests.sh script again. From your prior results, that run should go to completion of at least the first (shared) part of the test (and maybe all three parts of the test if you don't interrupt it) if your introduction of Ada to the mix and the fixups I suggested for qhull, shapelib, and java for finding those additional components do not trigger any additional run-time issues. But if one of those additional "found" components fails, document what test failed, exclude it, and continue. Sorry this is such a long painstaking process, but that is the nature of the beast when there is no previous group experience with running scripts/comprehensive_test.sh on the platform of interest (OpenSUSE in this case). I honestly thought comprehensive testing on an OpenSUSE platform loaded up with _all_ PLplot soft dependencies would just sail through since OpenSUSE is Linux after all, but those segfaults for qt are a wake-up call that this is not always the case.
