I'm very interested in trying out plotlib. The documentation is
_superb_, which led me to select it over Cairo (I'm considering
replacing a pure-python graphics library I wrote about 12 years ago).
However, I've run into a build failure and I'd like to report it. I'm
willing to work with someone if they want to get to the root cause.
Problem statements:
1. Build via a plain "make" fails after configure completes.
2. Running make again shows a different failure.
The most important evidence is the typescript file I've attached -- it's
a record of exactly what happened. This record was gotten by un-tarring
the tar.gz package, cd'ing to the new directory, then launching the
script command to start recording. My platform is Windows XP SP3 and I
do my work in a cygwin bash shell. I'm using the MinGW compiler version
3.4.5. I've successfully built hundreds of packages over the years with
this compiler (which is one reason I stick with a working tool and don't
upgrade to the latest and greatest).
The plotutils package I downloaded is plotutils-2.6.tar.gz and its SHA-1
hash is 7921301d9dfe8991e3df2829bd733df6b2a70838.
