According to Bill Hoffman, 2.8.0 should be out pretty soon. The 2.8.0 rc builds are already going into the Fedora 13 build tree, which is how the plplot issue showed up. In this case, it seems 2.8.0 support may be as simple as putting in an updated set of wxWidget modules. I'll test as soon as they are available. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
