I think this is an issue with the libplplot-dev package on which
gnudatalanguage build-depends.
If I try to do that test manually, it fails as follows:
$ gcc -lplplotcxxd conftest.c
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lplplotcxxd
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libplplotcxxd.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep 20 15:18 /usr/lib/libplplotcxxd.so ->
libplplotcxxd.so.10
$
(i.e. no /usr/lib/libplplotcxxd.so.10)
/usr/lib/libplplotcxxd.so.10 is in libplplot-c++10 on which
libplplot-dev doesn't depend, but just recommends it.
But according to libplplot-dev's long description "this package
contains all that is needed for doing development in C, C++, Fortran
and Ada with PLplot." -- So either the description is wrong or the
recommends on libplplot-c++10 needs to be a depends instead. The hint
from the configure output also seems to suggest this.
If I install libplplot-c++10, gnudatalanguage's configure script
continues at that point.
Regards, Axel
