Hi,

I tried the pgplot wrapper interface, and it worked with two
small modifications, one of them caused by a bug in octave,
I believe.

As I can't compile shared libs (ld core dumps on libointerp.so,
all others .so link OK), I haven't tried dinamic link, so I must
have all static. For completeness, I have an SCO-UNIX 3.2v5.0.2:

>`uname -X'
System = SCO_SV
Release = 3.2v5.0.2
Machine = Pentium
...

1-I edited src/Makefile and added 
	'pgplot_octave.cc` to the end of `DLD_SRC' and 
	`-lcpgplot -lpgplot' at the end of `OCTAVE_LIBS'
	'-lX11 -lsocket' at the end of `LIBS'

I have installed the pgplot server, include files and libraries
in standard places.	

2-After make, the generator of `builtins.cc' made an error:

builtins.cc: In function `void install_pgplot_octave_fcns()':
builtins.cc:637: cannot declare static function inside another function
builtins.cc:637: parse error before `{'
builtins.cc: In function `void install_builtins()':
builtins.cc:701: warning: implicit declaration of function `int install_builtin_functions(...)'

the offending code:

   static void
   install_pgplot_octave_fcns (void)
   {
    extern octave_value_list Fpgplot_octave    (const octave_value_list&       arg$
   {   <---------EXTRA 
   }	
   static void
   install_builtin_functions (void)
   {


After correcting the error, the demo run OK.

Thanks,

Joao
