[Plplot-devel] Can't eliminate legend string problem in Ada example 17

2008-08-14 Thread Jerry
Just a note that I can't seem to fix the problem in Ada example 17 (stripchart demo) wherein all of the legend strings appear on the plot identical to the fourth one. I've tried a lot of things and at this point I'm afraid it will have to be a known issue. The crux is matching e.g. this

Doing gdb sessions in the build tree is pretty tricky because of all the setup (e.g., setting environment variables) you have to do first. So I don't recommend it except for rare emergencies where you get errors in the build tree but not the install tree. Furthermore, ctest doesn't have a
