Karl,

Thanks for the response.  I've managed to resolve the problem, after some
troubleshooting noting that in the installation instructions for PGPLOT (the
non-Perl, core package) the method for creating the shared library
libcpgplot.so is not entirely correct.  They used:

	ld -shared -o libcpgplot.so --whole_archive libcpgplot.a

Well, the problem is that the objects in libcpgplot.a reference objects in
libpgplot.a, so one needs to link them together.  What I did under IRIX
6.5.3 is:

	ld -shared -n32 -all libcpgplot.a -o libcpgplot.so -none libpgplot.a

Also, I had to recompile the core PGPLOT package with the -n32 option, as
the Perl PGPLOT package does; otherwise, it defaults to -o32 compilation and
the result is improper linking to libraries.

		--john

Looks to me like it is not linking vs cpgplot correctly

send me the output of 'perl Makefile.PL; make' ?
