Hi Don: Although cmake.out had lots of WARNING messages about certain PLplot component prerequisites that were missing (and certain compilers that were missing) it appeared to adjust everything correctly to build an important subset of PLplot including C (of course), C++, Fortran, Java, Tcl/Tk, and wxwidgets. (By the way, if you want to disable any of those remaining components, you can do so by using, e.g., -DENABLE_wxwidgets=OFF -DENABLE_tcl=OFF, etc., as a cmake command-line options.) So it appears to me that cmake is doing most of its job correctly. However, make.out shows that something is not set up correctly with regard to fortran 77. For now, I suggest you simply drop that component of PLplot (using the -DENABLE_f77=OFF cmake option) since your ifort compiler might not work properly with our Fortran 77 interface and see whether our Fortran 95 interface builds okay instead. Note we have had some users report success with ifort, but historically that compiler has not received nearly the testing attention that, say, the gfortran compiler has received. Is there anybody here with ifort experience on Mac OS X? If so, please let us know if there are any special compiler options that must be used to build PLplot. Don, if you have gfortran installed, and you want to try it instead of ifort, then you can do so by setting export FC=gfortran before you run cmake in an initially empty build tree. Note that when you rebuild PLplot again, it is important to start with an empty build tree so that some of your stale cache values for the old non-working build don't interfere with the new build. Note that if you use the -k option to make (assuming you are using GNU make), then an attempt will be made to build all targets regardless of errors so you can see all build errors at once rather than just the first one that is encountered.
