+ a different blank-screen result if you run it a different way. Bus errors for -dev tk and a different other bad (blank screen) result when interactively choosing dev tk from the menu are obviously not good signs. I suspect that we have been building the ABS version all this time on Mac OS X and nobody actually tested the Tk part of it. The reason I say that is because of the lack of Mac OS X identification in plplot.h that you just fixed. OTOH, Tk has worked for a long time on Linux with no segfaults or any other fundamental showstopper like you are encountering. So I think you are probably really close to getting it to work. I don't think there is anything more we can do in the linking department. One possibility is to try a different version of Tcl/Tk (the fink version if you got the above results with the Apple native version or vice versa). But if you get the same or related run-time problems with a different Tcl/Tk version then I think your only recourse is to do some run-time debugging to see exactly what the problem is. Good luck tracking this down. Alan __________________________ Alan W. Irwin Astronomical research affiliation with Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Victoria (astrowww.phys.uvic.ca).
