What is it supposed to do?
plplot_python_start.py is a file that we configure separately for the build tree and install tree. The build-tree version points to the location of the python extension modules and ordinary python modules scattered in the build tree. I forgot to configure in the bindings/qt_gui/pyqt4 location, but I just fixed that with revision 10115. (The install-tree version of plplot_python_start.py that is configured, simply points to the single install tree location where the extension modules are installed.) So that is why my install-tree tests worked before, but why a change was needed to get the build-tree version to work. After copying pyqt4_example.py from the source tree to the build tree where the configured build-tree version of plplot_python_start.py is located, (or running a -DBUILD_TEST=ON build which does the same thing), I can run PLPLOT_LIB=/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/plplot_cmake_qt/data ./pyqt4_example.py without issues from that build-tree location. I assume you can run ./pyqt4_example.py from the source tree location as well if you copy the configured plplot_python_start.py back to there from its build tree location. But that violates the principal of keeping your source tree absolutely clean. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
