Follow the general directions, 2.3.2, above when opening the
TAR archive.
- The tested build was done on Kernel 4.9.37-1-lts, 64 bit
system. WARNING: It is very important to switch to the LTS kernel or things may
break very quickly. From the top directory one runs configure with appropriate
options. Choose one of the following (note: options start with a double dash
``- -`` before the ''with'' and a single dash after the ``with``:
- configure -with-gnuplot5 -with-plplotlib
PKG_CONF_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
(This assumes plplot has been built with cmake.)
WARNING: When building plplot with cmake, more than one instance will exist
after installing the library. The configure script uses ''locate`` and looks
for the first instance, so you may wish to remove the plplot in the build
directory, leaving only the installed to be found. It may work without this,
but maybe not. This test built plplot-5.11.1.tar.gz with cmake.
See instructions for building plplot 2.3.6 above.
- configure -with-gnuplot5
(will use Gnuplot instead of Plplot)
