Hi Paul, Oh, of course. My mistake. The fix is to replace ifeffit-1.2.5/iconf_pgplot with the version below. The distributed version of ifeffit-1.2.5.tar.gz is from February, and its iconf_pgplot looks under /sw for pgplot. The newer one (from April) looks under /Applications/Ifeffit. You can test it by simply typing (in the ifeffit-1.2.5 directory): ~>sh iconf_pgplot which should report something very close to -L/Applications/Ifeffit/pgplot -L/Applications/Ifeffit/lib -lpgplot_iff -lpng_iff -lz_iff -laquaterm -L/sw/lib -lg2c -L/usr/lib -lgcc -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -laquaterm -Wl,-framework -Wl,Foundation At that point, './configure; make' ought to work. Of course -- how could the Feb source kit possibly know about the Aquaterm changes made in April?? This means the way I described building from source to Stefano probably cannot work, and may be related to some of his troubles -- but how did he get it to compile is a bit of a mystery to me. I'm confused by this, as the instructions I gave Stefano should have not worked. For the record, the binary installer should work fine too. Is there evidence that it doesn't? Sorry, --Matt iconf_pgplot: #!/bin/sh # # This file will test how to build pgplot.
