Alan,

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried installing PLplot release 5.9.5, but without success. Listings of my cmake.out, make.out and make_install.out sessions are attached.

Hi,

I recently upgraded from Mac OSX 10.5 to 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard). I've been
successfully using a Plplot installation that I got through Fink (version
5.6.1). I use this with the Intel ifort Fortran compiler by
including `plplot-config --cflags --libs --with-f77` on the load line.
However, the 10.6.2 upgrade seems to have broken things for Plplot (see
below). I can still run codes using Plplot that were built before the
upgrade, but cannot build new versions. Any suggestions as to how to fix
this?

Hi Don:

If Werner's suggestion for dealing with the immediate issue doesn't work,
then I suggest you upgrade to a more modern version of PLplot. (The 5.6.1
version of PLplot that you are trying to use came out more than 3 (!) years
ago).  Even the latest fink version (5.8.0) is outdated so I suggest you use
the latest PLplot release (5.9.5) following the build directions at
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Building_PLplot.
PLplot-5.9.5 has lots of great features (e.g., good-looking fonts and new
powerful device drivers) compared to 5.6.1 and also should be more reliable
than 5.6.1 because we now do a more careful job of testing before releases.

Note, CMake (version 2.6.0 or later) is now a prerequiste for our build
system, but that is easy to obtain.  Also, we have dropped plplot-config
altogether in favour of either (1) a pkg-config method of obtaining the
flags you need to build applications that use the PLplot library or (2) a
new experimental CMake-based method for building applications that use the
PLplot library.  Both methods are illustrated in the installed examples
directory.

If you have any trouble following the Mac OS X build instructions in the
Wiki for PLplot-5.9.5 or building your own applications using the 5.9.5
version of the PLplot library, let us know here, and we can give you a hand.

Alan
