I have run the install tree tests right now, and the errors in your broadened examples are now reduced to just the octave ones: Failed tests: x20c.m, x24c.m, x25c.m, x26c.m Interestingly, ctest succeeded for octave so these octave errors are triggered by the install tree but not the build tree or else some error flag is not being communicated to ctest by these failures. In other news, I have found that cmake-2.4.5-RC-4 builds PLplot correctly (including the build-tree examples and the full documentation) on both my Debian stable and Ubuntu dapper platforms with the disambiguate workaround in examples/c++/CMakeLists.txt removed. Previous RC's failed as did 2.4.4 (unless I did the disambiguate workaround) so this RC-4 is a big step forward, and gives cmake-2.4.5 the PLplot "seal of approval". That "seal of approval" remark is mostly serious; I appear to be one of a very small group of developers to report a bug in 2.4.4, but that target/filename clash and one other bug was sufficiently serious that the cmake developers decided to make a 2.4.5 release in a hurry just with a limited number of fixes including the fix for "my" bug. Fortunately, they made RC's for their forthcoming 2.4.5 release. It turned out there was a bug in their fix to the other serious bug which PLplot was kind enough to find for them (in their RC-2). I think PLplot is an excellent test of cmake because we use almost the entire language under a wide variety of circumstances. Anyhow, RC-4 works well now, and I expect 2.4.5 to come out within a day or so in excellent shape to build PLplot. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
