Doug, which backend are you using?

Ben

The default   so I guess I am using gnuplot.   It makes a gplt window.

Also zoom does not work.

 

I was initially thinking that might be a gnuplot error, but I'm confident that isn't the case.

In any event, I don't see the warnings on either MacOS 10.6 or Ubuntu 10.0.4

What does the following return ...

octave_config_info().FT2_LIBS

On MacOS X I get ....

ans = -L/sw/lib -lfreetype -lz -Wl,-framework,CoreServices -Wl,-framework,ApplicationServices

On Ubuntu 10.04 I get ...

ans = -lfreetype -lz

If you get something different, then I'd guess configure didn't see freetype.

Ben

For information about changes from previous versions, type `news'.

octave:1> octave_config_info().FT2_LIBS

ans = 

octave:2> 

Im on ubuntu 10.04  

I am running it from

./run-octave

is this the problem?
