I believe that this error occurs because you a recent version of GD but you don't have the Freetype library installed. If you do not need the GD drivers you can turn them off (png, jpeg, gif), or alternatively, you can install the Freetype library. This problem has come up before: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=55E57839- CEC1-44AA-921B-0FF524072008%40mac.com&forum_name=plplot-devel However we don't seem to have fixed it yet. There is a logic problem in drivers/gd.c, plD_init_png_Dev(), where the variable smooth_text is defined only if the Freetype library exists. However, later in the subroutine (line 434) we assume that this variable will exist if the GD library exists. best, -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
