Jerry kindly came through with that requested test of the new patch, and indeed, his report tarball indicated the rpath method was used for the installed examples linking as expected for that particular patch. Furthermore, his report showed the test of that method of linking worked perfectly for test_fortran. Encouraged by that limited success, I have changed the entire PLplot project to use the rpath linking method for installed examples by default on Mac OS X just like what occurs in the Linux case. See commit 5314c65 which supersedes the limited test_fortran (and test_ada) patches I have been asking Jerry and Jim to test. @Jerry and Jim: Please test commit 5314c65 (without any additional patching) on your Mac OS X platforms using (N.B. from the top-level directory in the PLplot source tree so this is a test of the plplot project and not either of the test_ada or test_fortran projects) scripts/comprehensive_test.sh --cmake_added_options "-DDEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON -DPLD_ps=ON -DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON -DENABLE_f95=ON" --do_test_interactive no This comprehensive test of the plplot project restricts the components of PLplot that are tested to just the ps and psc devices, just the Fortran binding, and just noninteractive tests. Those restrictions considerably speeds up this test (which only took 6 minutes on my 7-yr-old PC with these restrictions). N.B. this test of the PLplot Fortran binding and examples is obviously much more substantial than the equivalent test of the extremely simple test_fortran project. In particular, the above script invocation tests the traditional (make + pkg-config) build of the installed Fortran examples without DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH manipulations. My guess is the new rpath linking method for the installed examples will allow that to work, but I do need one or both of you to confirm that. @Jim: You stated recently that you had some trouble with getting the Fortran parts of PLplot to work on Mac OS X. If that is still the case, the report tarball generated by the above script invocatin will likely give me everything I need to fix that issue. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
