There are three file trees of relevance here. Here is what I suggest to have pristine results for all of them. (1) Source tree. You should start by removing the plplot-5.7.1 directory (use rm -rf if you have the courage to use that dangerous command), then unpack the 5.7.1 tarball. That should create a pristine source tree. (2) Build tree. If you follow the cmake build system directions at http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/ you will use a build tree that is separate from the source tree. Be sure to start with an absolutely empty build tree (rm -rf is again your dangerous friend), and that insures a pristine build tree. (3) Install tree. "make install" installs into whatever install prefix you specify with the cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option. Usually, I specify something accessible from an ordinary user account for this prefix rather than a root-owned area. Use something unique for that install prefix for your CBS builds and always remember to rm -rf that prefix directory before each build to insure a clean install tree. (If you don't set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, then the default will be to install to /usr/local which is owned by root and not unique so you cannot safely remove it with rm -rf). I am sure there are other methods to assure pristine source, build, and install trees, but these are what I use. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
