There isn't any chance of there being multiple copies of either pango or plplot on the system, does there? If so there's always a chance that different versions are being picked up by the dynamic linker. I can't imagine how that might come about (excepting the inclusion of relative paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH which isn't generally a good idea) but it's a thought. If something like this was happening I would expect it to be evident through the use of ldd: cd /home/hbabcock/OpenSource/plplot-working/plplot-CBS-1 ldd /home/hbabcock/C/plplot_test/test1 cd /home/hbabcock/C/plplot_test ldd ./test1 It's a very strange problem. Is anything revealed by running test1 through strace in the two scenarios?
