Hi All, (Thanks for the response Alan). My first question is how do I clean out the installed files from /usr/local (I ran 'make install')? Is there a list of installed items whereby I can do this manually?
Secondly, I am trying to follow the 'generic unix' instructions and have skipped the first two optional steps, is this okay? When I tried to do the cmake invocation step, the cmake.out file reads: CMake Error: The source directory "~/plplot-5.8.0/plplot_cmake" does not exist. Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI. Cheers, Ty On January 22, 3:02 pm "Alan W.
