in reply to installing pgplot on cygwin

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)

        Thanks ysth for having a look.. It is really nice to know that I am not doing something
        silly ( though if I was it would be much easy to fix ;-) ).

        It seems to me that be the libpgplot.a libary file may be calling GrWin routines (GWgetrgb
        and varrious others) and are looking for them in the gwdriv.o or gwdriv.c files.
        When I search for these files they have not been down loaded as part of the GrWin driver.
