Hi Alexis: I am joining this conversation late because I couldn't participate earlier (incoming mail-chain troubles that are now fixed). I am also CCing Orion since he is very experienced at dealing with PLplot issues on Fedora. (He maintains the Fedora rpms for PLplot.) Coincidentally, I have just finished (see my latest post to the plplot-devel list) a big effort on improving the parts of the build system having to do with Tcl, Tk, Itcl, Itk, and Iwidgets. The result is more demanding of consistency for all components and also more verbose about what it finds. So I would appreciate you giving the plplot svn trunk version a try to see if (a) it works on your Fedora system, and (b) it is verbose enough for you. That version also has Arjen's fix concerning TclFormatInt. I am virtually positive the fundamental issue there is the PLplot build historically relied on "private" Tcl headers. In 2000 or so when I was still building PLplot on a RedHat platform, I ran into a lot of such issues which Maurice (our Tcl/Tk guru who has mostly retired from working on PLplot now) fixed at the time. But after I switched to Debian (whose Tcl devel package includes all private headers) a few of these issues may have crept back (because Tcl developers likely made different decisions about what was private and what not). So Arjen's fix is a good step in the right direction, and if you now try the svn trunk version of PLplot on Fedora you may find all is well now with the Tcl component of the build. Or you might run into a few more private header issues which we would be happy to fix if you were willing to do the necessary build experiments. I also have access to a Tcl8.6 build I have done myself which I am currently using to test PLplot's Tcl8.6 capabilities. I notice that build has a switch that can be used to turn off the install of private headers. So now you have reminded me of the private header issue with Tcl, I plan to use that switch to see if there is anything more to deal with. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
