Hi Arjen:
One way cygfreetype-6.dll could still be interfering is if one of the system
libraries required by PLplot is out of date so that it is linked to
cygfreetype-6.dll rather than cygfreetype-9.dll. The freetype library is
linked by a lot of different system libraries so the potential for such
inconsistencies is high.
I am not familiar with Cygwin but the Debian analogy I am using here is if
some Debian user was attempting to use a mixture of Debian stable and
unstable they would run into trouble because of library version
inconsistencies.
Anyhow, an upgrade to a self-consistent version of Cygwin may be the
solution in your case.
Hi Alan,
this was my mistake: I said entire directory structure, but I should
have said
entire directory structure under c:/cygwin/lib. It so happens that there
is a
cygfreetype-6.dll in the c:/cygwin/bin directory. However, there does appear
to be a conflict:
- cygfreetype-9.dll resides in the lib/X11R6 directory that contains a few
DLLs that are needed for PLplot under Cygwin
- when I tried the examples with the default path (that includes /usr/bin)
it did not work
- when I added /usr/lib/X11R6 it still did not work
- when I removed the freetype support, the examples finally started
properly
and I got the pictures I expected
I have not tried with a clean slate yet - hopefully this will solve the
issue
Regards,
Arjen
