I am glad to report Werner's latest commit solved this issue. I also took the opportunity (revision 9333) to completely overall plplot-test-interactive.sh.in to improve the clarity of its logic by using loops and arrays and to improve its error reporting. Now it should be impossible to miss any important errors that are buried in all the rest of the messages that our interactive examples display. The updated script easily showed the wxwidgets issues before Werner fixed them, shows the Tk issues (for the -DENABLE_tk case), and also picked up an extraneous return status from plplotcanvas_demo.c which I have now fixed. It also picked up some -dev gcw issues; example 17 looks bad (the plot axis text isn't being erased properly when rescaling occurs), and example 23 has some rendering glitches. In my opinion these gcw issues are not release critical, but it is nice to know plplot-test-interactive.sh is doing its job. I am concerned the script update is so close to our release deadline it makes it difficult for anybody to test it before the release, but please try to do so before the release by running "make test_interactive" or ./make ; ./plplot-test-interactive.sh in the installed examples directory. The updated script does work for me including all the bash array syntax I used for the first time here. OTOH, the updated script is a vast improvement on the previous version, and if the script doesn't work on other platforms, it just means that interactive testing won't work on those platforms. Therefore, I decided to go ahead with the commit. In sum, I think we are ready to release tomorrow (Sunday). Alan __________________________ Alan W.
