Hi
I am struggling here.. For the last couple of days I have been trying to install PGPLOT on Cywin using GrWin drivers. Unfortunately it is not straightforward.

Is there any knowable person who might be able to give a list of instructions how to do this???

Thanks in advance

Penny

    Generally Cygwin applications use the *nix type code bases, so the windows drivers might not be the best. But if you actually want help, you should tell us what you have tried so far and exactly what happened because of it.

      Sure thing... It is rather complicated..

      I downloaded the PGPLOT module from CPAN
      In the readme file it says you must download the
      graphics libaries first

      So I go to http://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/grwinlib/english/contrib/pgplot/
      and down loaded GRWin driver for PGPLOT for Cygwin which also includes the libaries files

      After installing the file I then ran the make file for the PGPLOT perl module
      and got the following error message

      libpgplot.a(gwdriv.c): undefined reference to "GWgetrgb"

      ("GWgetrgb" is a subroutine in GRWin)
