In the meantime I was able to solve this very strange problem! Thanks for your suggestions that brought me on the correct path and finally made me find the solution! When using the command line build I was a bit lazy. I already had PLplot installed some years ago (V5.8, IIRC). During that time I created a MS Word document containing a complete "How to install PLplot" manual (for my colleagues should they also want to install it). Well, now, when again installing PLplot (completely from scratch, i.e. no installed older version of PLplot on this computer) I used that document as a guide (and updating it wherever something has changed). Now, instead of typing the command line I just marked it in that Word document, copied it and pasted it into the command line. It looked completely OK to me (and still does - BTW, I also copied that line into my first email on this topic). However, using this pasted text, no examples are build! If, on the other hand, I just type the command character by character (everything else being the same, i.e. build directory completely cleaned before) everything is fine ... all examples are built. Why this happens is a complete mystery to me! If, instead of pasting the text into the command line pasting it into any text editor (emacs, notepad), there are no strange/control characters. It just looks identical to the typed-in version. But CMake generates two different build directories. I will now put a remark into my installation manual and everything should be fine. -- Best regards, Thorsten Behrens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel
