I've just pushed the new 'plot' library.
Eli and I both forgot that the new 'plot' still needs the old libfit, and removed it along with
libplplot. I just added libfit back (the sources are in "src/fit" now instead of
"src/plot/fit") along with the proper configure, Makefile.in, and get-libs.rkt changes.
Tangential question: it looks like your distribution philosophy here is to
insist that users have a C compiler installed. Is this correct? So people
without a compiler can't use the package? (I realize that if it's true of your
package, it's almost certainly true of the earlier one, as well; I'm just
curious, because my sound library has the same issue.)
That would be true if 'plot' were a PLaneT package that includes libfit.
But libfit.so is compiled at the same time as the rest of Racket and
distributed with the other binaries.
(Eli wants to get rid of it. So do I. You might have seen the recent
commit I pushed that comments out check-= 'fit' tests that randomly
fail. Out of about 50 executions they failed once for me, but DrDr seems
more unlucky. *sigh*)
