A slight variation of the above is a success on Linux with the comprehensive test script under bash. So what happens if you try the comprehensive test form exactly, i.e., cmake .... "-CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=d:/plplot-src/install with spaces" (with quotes around the whole option rather than just part of it)? I am pretty sure you will have success with that variant because a lot of experience has gone into that script so, for example, I am pretty sure the form you tried above would not work on Linux. For that same reason when doing hand experiements like this, it is always a good idea to follow the script (or just use it). Alan __________________________ Alan W.
