The latest news is the CMake developers are going to revert the bad patch so that CMake-2.8.6 should be compatible with PLplot (and many other software packages the bad patch would have affected). Thanks again, Orion, for publicizing the issue and therefore saving us all from what would have been a really bad release for CMake-2.8.6. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
