The ccmake GUI (and presumably the Windows GUI you are using) deals with cached variables. As far as I know, such GUI's only allow you to set cache variables one by one with no check concerning their consistency. For example, in the early days I tried to figure out a way to allow the ccmake GUI user to change CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and have the rest of the variables associated with install locations changed consistently with that, but I was unsuccessful (just like what you have experienced). It's possible we may have missed some way to impose such consistency, and I encourage you to set up a simple test case that attempts to set a variable options) that depends on CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to see how your cmake GUI will react to that situation for all possible set options for the dependent variable. But for now, I don't recommend using CMake GUI's with the PLplot build until we find a solution (if one exists) for this inconsistency problem. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
