Hi Hazen: I have downloaded plplot-5.7.2.tar.gz, checked its signature, built it, tested both the build tree and install tree examples. All seems well on both Debian stable and Ubuntu Dapper except for the same issue recently reported by Werner for MinGW; for both examples 7 and 23 on Ubuntu -dev psttfc gives the following error message:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): Error returned from FT_Load_Glyph Aborted Debian standard does not have these errors nor does -dev png on Ubuntu (which eliminates missing fonts or something wrong with libfreetype [used by both devices] as the cause). Does anybody else see this issue? Hazen, there seems to be a lot of interest in these development releases. Your previous effort (5.7.1) resulted in 1000+ downloads in two months. Thanks for your continuing release efforts. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
