gdl crashes because it cannot find cmap1.pal

[brandy125]

Today arrived my new machine with Intel i9. I installed a fresh OpenSuse Tumbleweed and compiled the latest version of GDL

The configure script ended like this:

What am I missing?

Apparently the plplot installation in the tumbleweed is not complete, the files cmap0_default.pal etc may be in a separate package to be installed.
Or, and that would be more annoying, the plplot library of your suse install is not built with the -DENABLE_DYNDRIVERS=ON : impossible to use our patched drivers.
In which case, a reinstall of the plplot library compiled with -DENABLE_DYNDRIVERS=ON is necessary.

I verified that the directory /usr/share/plplot5.15.0 had all the necessary files and when I started gdl inside this directory it could find the files and did not crash. But putting this directory in the PATH variable did not help. The only thing that helped was uninstall the plplot package, download the source code from internet and compile it. Very strange because after source code compilation and installation the directory seemed to have identical information. Must be any additional file somewhere that makes it work when compiling the source code.

last version does not need the separate plplot package installed, this problem should not happen anymore.
