Melinda, I haven't seen a reply for this yet, so I thought I'd give it a go.
Not having my linux box up at the mo' but I think you will find that the .so files are just the "runtime" libraries dynamically linked. You need to have the development versions of both X11 and pgplot libraries which will be .a. If you are building a standard package, normally running "configure" will tell you that you don't have the required libraries. >From memory the Makefile will define an environment variable (or add -L flag????) as to where to get the libraries during linking. I'm short on detail and confidence, but hopefully this leads you in the right direction :-) Martin Visser Network Consultant - Global Services COMPAQ, part of the new HP 3 Richardson Place North Ryde, Sydney NSW 2113, Australia Phone *: +61-2-9022-1670 Mobile *: +61-411-254-513 Fax 7: +61-2-9022-1800 E-mail * : martin.visserAThp.com -----Original Message----- From: Melinda Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 10 July 2002 4:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] (no subject) This is probably a sily question but I keep getting X11 and pgplot errors when compiling things like: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [sm] Error 1 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpgplot The X libraries are installed as is pgplot with PGPLOT environment settings all set. If I check /etc/ld.so.conf: /usr/kerberos/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/qt-3.0.3/lib /usr/lib/qt2/lib /usr/lib/wine /usr/lib/sane /usr/local/pgplot and ldconfig -v | grep pgplot ldconfig: Path `/sw/pgplot' given more than once /usr/local/pgplot: libpgplot.so -> libpgplot.so Doesn't this mean any -lpgplot calls should work? ANy help would be appreciated.
