Orion, thanks very much for your willingness to test PLplot so thoroughly. It's a great help to us. Once you identified the dependency issue, it was obvious there was an immediate bug there (with that dependency method $(EXEEXT) needed to be replaced by ${EXEEXT}), but I decided to entirely replace (revision 7687) that old-fashioned dependency method with the more general dependency method involving a LOCATION variable which is known to work better than the old-fashioned method elsewhere within our build system. I tried make -j2 on a fully configured system for revision 7687 on Ubuntu Dapper, and I got good results: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> ctest Start processing tests Test project /home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir 1/ 12 Testing examples_c Passed 2/ 12 Testing examples_cxx Passed 3/ 12 Testing examples_f77 Passed 4/ 12 Testing examples_f95 Passed 5/ 12 Testing examples_java Passed 6/ 12 Testing examples_octave Passed 7/ 12 Testing examples_python Passed 8/ 12 Testing examples_tcl Passed 9/ 12 Testing examples_psttfc Passed 10/ 12 Testing examples_png Passed 11/ 12 Testing examples_svg Passed 12/ 12 Testing examples_plmeta Passed 100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 12 Please try "make -j2" yourself on revision 7687 to confirm that the problem has now been solved.
