Hi Ed: To follow up, I did some quick checking with simple tests, and, in fact, copy-if-different does the right thing (no action) if the source and build trees are the same. Furthermore, make does the right thing as well (drop the circular dependency for this case). So the bug you found cannot be triggered by (extremely) simple test cases where the build tree is the same as the source tree. I am tied up with another PLplot issue at the moment so I suspect it will be at least a week until I can investigate the issue you discovered any further with a full PLplot build. Thus, I encourage other PLplot developers to jump in and investigate this issue. Meanwhile, if you have any troubles doing a fresh build using a separate build tree (the usual tested case), let us know here. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
