[SOLVED] plplot errors in compiling gdl

[dphus]

I'm having a lot of issues trying to get GDL to compile on my machine. I've seen a couple of other posts with people with different issues, and have followed the suggestions that they got from others, which as you can imagine came to no avail.

so...
when i type in
./configure
make

i get ...

I really have no idea what to do from here. if anyone has any suggestions about next steps, i'm all ears

thanks!

do you need a custom build or just to get it installed? gdl-0.9rc1 is available in intrepid's universe repos under 'gnudatalanguage', and gdl-0.9pre6 is available for hardy.

[dphus]

thanks normandin!

I would love to have a simple install and not compile my own version. i can't seem to find gdl-0.9pre6 when i do a search in symantic ( i'm still on hardy), and "apt-get install gdl-0.9pre6" gives the "....couldn't find package..." message.

I have my universe repository checked. is there a different, perhaps 3rd party repository that i need to have enabled? am i searching for the right thing?

Thanks for the help.

Here's the list of all the repositories that i have enabled in case there's something really simple that i'm missing.

hi dphus,

sorry, the wording of my original post was misleading. the gdl *package* is called 'gnudatalanguage' in both hardy and intrepid. the *version* will be 0.9rc1 in intrepid and 0.9pre6 in hardy. it looks like you've got the universe repos in your sources.lst, so

sudo aptitude install gnudatalanguage

should grab you gdl-0.9pre6.

[dphus]

Yup that did it.

thanks a million! i don't know what i couldn't find that particular package.

that just made my life a whole lot easier
Joe

hi, i have a problem with gdl. after installation with
apt-get install gnudatalanguage

i go in gdl and try to draw something, than the program reply something like

plstream error and exit

i also installed the latest version with plplot and the result is that the program says

device xwin is not available


i followed this guide that is for gdl 0.9pre4
