It happens when I build version 5.6.1 of PLplot (http://plplot.sf.net) using shared libraries. It does not when I disable the shared libraries option. As it is a rather complex building process - not what the user has to do but what the software is doing (extensive use of autotools), isolating the bug seems virtually impossible at the moment Regards, Arjen -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27703
