Carlo,
Thanks for looking at this. Unfortunately, PGPPLOT 2.19 is very
different from 2.18 (I helped with the 2.19 changes so I'm familiar with
the code) so the fix for 2.18 is not applicable, and is in fact no
longer required.
The problem really is a compilation problem, not a setup problem. Note
that the error is not that it cannot find the library, but that it
cannot link against the library because of the way that the library was
compiled:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libcpgplot.a(cpgarro.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against
`pgarro_' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
Please reopen this bug -- it's still not fixed.
Thanks,
Diab
