Hi David: As a temporary workaround, please try the new CMake-based build system for the installed examples. It's undocumented for now, but the steps (after "make install" for the core build sets up that build system) is to cd to an initially empty build directory, then run cmake $prefix/share/plplot5.9.5/examples make We also want to continue to maintain the traditional pkg-config + raw Makefile approach for building the installed examples because many of our users love the simplicity of pkg-config. There, the issue you have found is simply a maintenance one -- making sure external libraries that are installed in non-default (from the pkg-config perspective) locations have the correct information propagated to pkg-config. I will deal with that issue shortly for the qhull case. Thanks for your report. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
