Yes, everything of importance will safely be overwritten. You will be left with a folder of examples in /usr/local/share called 5.7.0 from your previous installation efforts. To summarize what others have suggested (and assuming that you have root privileges on your mac), you will want to: (1) Download and install cmake from here: http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html. You will want the latest version (i.e. 2.4.4). (2) Follow the OS-X install direction on our wiki here: http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Note that (a) plplot-working-directory is one directory up from your build directory (b) cvs-plplot/directory is your local (uncompressed and untarred) copy of plplot-5.7.1. (c) the plplot-build directory that you create will initially be empty but executing the ccmake (or cmake) command in that directory will populate it with the files that will be needed to build plplot. The easiest way to configure the various plplot options is to use the command ccmake. It will give you a simple graphical menu that you can use to configure your plplot build. You might in particular want to set "BUILD-TEST" to ON. This will compile the examples in the build tree. You can the verify that your installation of PLplot is working by running one of the examples: ~/plplot-working-directory : ./examples/c/x01c Alternatively you can compile and test the examples in the install tree: cd /usr/local/share/plplot5.7.1/examples sudo make ./c/x01c HTH, -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
