Want to give git-bisect a try for this case? If so, here are the instructions for reproducing the error. I am pretty sure that you use Mac OS X? If so, my understanding is it is fairly straightforward to get X and Tcl/Tk installed on that platform. Once that is completed, the rest of the test is simple to set up. Use the following cmake options -DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON -DENABLE_tcl=ON -DENABLE_tk=ON -DDEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON -DPLD_tk=ON to tremendously speed up builds by dropping everything other than the absolute essentials to build and test -dev tk. In empty build tree: cmake ... options including -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX make install In _new_ empty build tree for build of examples that were installed by the previous command. cmake $install_prefix/share/plplot5.9.5/examples >& cmake.out make test_c_tk (Currently shows error). I hope you do respond to this challenge for two reasons: (1) to show off git capabilities and (2) to give us some practical help here. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
