Not sure I follow everything here, but here's what I've done. Every build runs: ctest -V -E 'compare|qt' and that completed fine. In the installed packages I see plplot-test.sh claims to have an --interactive_octave option, but: [root@vmf17 examples]# ./plplot-test.sh --interactive_octave Never heard of an interactive device called psc. Either this is not a legitimate interactive device for PLplot or else plplot-test.sh.cmake needs some maintenance to include this interactive device in the list of possible PLplot interactive devices. - Orion -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel
