Hello, Sebastien.
It looks as if there is a fairly easy fix that will allow gdl to continue
to work well.
However, someone will probably need to put in qhull5 or qhull6
to the plplot libary system, since qhull is no longer supported ...
(also I don't see a maintainer for the plplot routines ... see later attached
quote
below)
libplplot10-shlibs
(If one "simply" needs a modestly robust, free plotting capability,
these exist. R (cran-r) can do anything that IDL can, although that would
be a bit much to shape to GDL's needs. In fact, I have a Mickey-Mouse
system to take IDL save-files over to R via NetCDF.)
Thanks, Bob C
PS: if you have also gone to MacPorts for an environment, please let me
know. I do understand Stefan Langerman's move, but MacPorts is a bit more
power (and attention) than I need. Bob C
