Hi all,
if you look at the end of my wits, you will see me...
In a vain attempt to get further away from windows I decided to install
gnuplot...
running freebsd 4.8
compiled from the ports collection, can't find pdflib-4.0.3.tar.gz... OK, I go
looking, no longer exists, now v5.0.1...
cvsup the ports collection
now looks for PDFlib-5.0.1 etc... still no luck, go looking there are various
confusing varieties... download freebsd versions for regular, Lite and the
Unix Lite src all to no avail. (the file ports wants does not seem to
have any instrutcions about how to manually or otherwise construct a working
library.)
OK, finally locate the right file, get it all in place, run it compiles
the pdf library... sort of, then I get libtool version clash...
libtool: ltconfig version `1.3.4-freebsd-ports' does not match ltmain.sh
version `1.3.5-freebsd-ports'
Gah!
OK, compile PDFlib-Lite from the source... following the readme instructions
(the usual ./configure, make, make install), all seems fine...
back to gnuplot
still does not work... seems the pdflib has not registered...

=== gnuplot-3.7.3_2 depends on shared library: png.5 - found
=== gnuplot-3.7.3_2 depends on shared library: pdf.5 - not found
===Verifying install for pdf.5 in /usr/ports/print/pdflib
=== Building for pdflib-5.0.1
then it starts with the libtool message above again...

Help!

And some run up hill and down dale, knapping the chucky stones
to pieces wi' hammers, like so many road makers run daft.
They say it is to see how the world was made.
