ADA seems to work fine, I enabled it. With D, I also have to install libgphobos-dev (right?), but even then I get the following error (on newer Debian systems, f.e. Stretch, or unstable): -- D Compiler Install Prefix (use D_PATH env var to override): /usr -- Check for working D compiler: /usr/bin/gdc -- Check for working D compiler: /usr/bin/gdc -- works -- Check for working Phobos -- Check for working Phobos -- unavailable -- Check for working Tango -- Check for working Tango -- unavailable CMake Error at cmake/modules/language_support/cmake/CMakeTestDCompiler.cmake:175 (MESSAGE): Phobos is required for this project, but it is not available!

Did I use the wrong library? I also tried octave, but get the warning -- OCTAVE = /usr/bin/octave -- MKOCTFILE = /usr/bin/mkoctfile -- OCTAVE_CONFIG = /usr/bin/octave-config -- OCTAVE_VERSION = 4.2.1 -- WARNING: Octave-4 has been found which is likely to lead to build errors for PLplot. -- WARNING: Disabling Octave binding. If you want to use that component of PLplot you should try installing Octave-3 (which works well with PLplot) or else try the experimental cmake option -DTRY_OCTAVE4=ON Debian (Stretch and later) has Octave 4 only, so I am a bit worried enabling this for the moment. Would you recommend it despite of the warning?
