Thanks, Werner. That was a good catch. The Linux build error is now gone, and the only apparent build issue remaining is the following warning: /home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/plplot_cmake/drivers/pdf.c:162: warning: passing arg 1 of HPDF_New' from incompatible pointer type. However, that did not seem to affect the results with this device. I installed and did a superficial install-tree test using c/x01c -dev pdf -o test.pdf When the resulting test.pdf file was viewed with the gv application, there appeared to be an overgenerous bounding box, but otherwise the rendering looked okay including the black background that is supposed to be there. A similar test with the xpdf pdf viewer showed the same bounding-box issue and a white (!) background. This might be an issue with how -dev pdf creates the background colour of the plot because if I use -dev psc and transform the result to pdf using ps2pdf, xpdf renders that transformed result with the correct black background. So it appears xpdf can render the background colour correctly, but it is sensitive to exactly how that background colour is created. Anyhow, it seems your new pdf device is a good start, and I suggest you will want to include this device as an option in plplot-test.sh so we can easily generate pdf's for all install-tree examples as a test of -dev pdf.
