[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI Hipster: GDL not working because of broken plplot

[Udo Grabowski (IMK)]

Says the most important driver for plplot, xwin, is not compiled
into plplot. I'm convinced it is, otherwise delivering plplot would
be futile, so it seems that something else is broken here:

ro sunth7 ~ # ldd /usr/bin/gdl|grep plplot
         libplplot.so.15 =>       /usr/lib/64/libplplot.so.15
         libplplotcxx.so.13 =>    /usr/lib/64/libplplotcxx.so.13

ro sunth7 ~ # gdl
