Hi All, I am a newbie when it comes to PLplot and I'm alittle lost. In addition, I'm working from a mac (10.4.11/Intel) which might put me at a disadvantage. I have a few questions about PLplot upon getting started:
1) During the installation I tried to install PLplot into it's own directory in /usr/local using '--Prefix=/usr/local/PLplot' during cmake. However, this didn't install it into PLplot, but rather the default location which I assume is /usr/local. Will this be a problem? (I read in the README file that it was recommended to put PLplot in its own directory). For installation I followed the instructions from the wiki (http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Mac_OSX). 2) After the installation I tried to run the example files but I don't know how. There is an example folder in /path/to/PLplot/directory as well as in the folder I created for the build plplot-build which is in /path/to/PLplot/directory. If I enter the example folder in the PLplot directory and type 'make' it says makefile can't be found (there are makefiles but end in *.in, *.am, and *.example). If I enter the example folder in plplot-build the 'make' command executes but no executable files are added. How can I test that the installation worked? 3) My ultimate goal is to use PLplot with wxwidget code that I'm transferring from a PC. The code works on the PC (via wxPlot) and I'm trying to get it to work on the mac via xcode 2.4.1. I finally got the code to compile, but recieve this error message when I try to excute: [Session started at 2008-01-22 14:11:05 -0800.] ZeroLink: unknown symbol '__Z9read_plotP15plPlotterStructP7__sFILERb' guifit has exited due to signal 6 (SIGABRT) Does anyone know what this error is caused by or have experience with PLplot on xcode? 4) Any suggestions welcome as this is all new to me.
