Hello,

I would like to install GDL in a Fedora Core 5 machine. I have a
lot of IDL routines I would like to rescue, and of course zero $$ to
buy IDL.

I got the gdl code, gsl, and pplot (5.6.0), but even after installing
them, the ./configure program can't find the plsexit function of plplot

checking for plsexit in -lplplotcxxd... no

Error! plplot library is required but was not found
Use --with-plplot=DIR to specify the plplot directory tree

But even adding the path, the error is the same

[root@chiloe gdl-0.9pre]# locate plplot
/usr/lib/libplplotcxxd.so.9
/usr/lib/libplplotcxxd.so.9.2.0
/usr/lib/plplot5.6.0

Could you tell me where is the problem?

GDL is a rpm package under Fedora CORE 5 so installation should be a
breesze. The version is 0.8.11. Use yum..

Eventually these dependencies can be put into a specfile.

Usenet seems more appropriate, given that GDL currently lacks widgets.
