[Ifeffit] Re: Aquaterm (was Artemis: Error in laoding additional FEFF paths?)

[Paul Fons]

If the aquaterm library support is included in the pgplot distribution 
that the installer "installs" then perhaps changing the environment 
variable to specify /aqt as the pgplot device will cause pgplot to 
attempt to route graphics to aquaterm (hence aquaterm did not start 
automatically).  I am still confused why Stefano did not get a bunch of 
linking errors though... I must say though that I really do not 
understand the dynamic library business -- could it be that the system 
just looked for the unlinked references at runtime in the Ifeffit/lib 
directory (as it is on the dynamic library path?).  This is something I 
*would* like to understand...
