Thanks. I've succeeded. I * reinstalled cmake in C:\programs [a folder with no white-spaces] * put plplot likewise in C:\programs * followed Alan's advice for the order of arguments to cmake * fixed the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX directive Here's the rest, all pretty much as the Wiki instructions say: mkdir C:\programs\plplot\plplot_build mkdir C:\programs\plplot\plplot_install Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt (Tools menu) and navigate to the plplot_build directory: cd c:\programs\plplot\plplot_build set path=c:\programs\plplot\plplot_build\dll;%path% cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DBUILD_TEST=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=C:\programs\plplot\plplot_install C: \programs\plplot\plplot-5.9.9 nmake nmake install Actually, the install failed several times, being unable to find various text files (README, ABOUT, AUTHORS, etc., etc.) in the plplot-5.9.9 directory. I looked inside the original tarball and they are there, so I must have lost them along the way. Anyway, I put placeholders in for them and got through the install (without them the install bails out incomplete). Of course, I can't tell you which of the "*" changes above made the difference from my attempts yesterday, but the examples run (more correctly, x01 runs, I haven't tried the others!). Thanks for your patience and pointers.
