[EMBOSS] Plplot

[Derek Gatherer]

Hi

I have a very similar problem, but I suspect that the problem is not with 
EMBOSS, but possibly with X.

I have:

 > printenv | grep LD_LIB
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/$SOFTWARE/emboss/share/EMBOSS  :  /$SOFTWARE/lib

 >printenv | grep PLP
PLPLOT_LIB=/$SOFTWARE/emboss/share/EMBOSS

($SOFTWARE is of course an abbreviation of my actual thing...)

 >ls /$SOFTWARE/emboss/share/EMBOSS
acd/                      emboss.default.template   plstnd5.fnt
bin/                      include/                  plxtnd5.fnt
data/                     jemboss/                  test/
doc/                      lib/

 >ls /$SOFTWARE/lib
                          libckit.so@           libnucleus.a
libajax.a             libckit.so.0@         libnucleus.la*
libajax.la*           libckit.so.1.1.0*     libnucleus.so@
libajax.so@           libhmmer.a            libnucleus.so.0@
libajax.so.0@         libhmmer.la*          libnucleus.so.1.1.0*
libajax.so.1.1.0*     libhmmer.so@          libplplot.a
libajaxg.a            libhmmer.so.1@        libplplot.la*
libajaxg.la*          libhmmer.so.2.1.1*    libplplot.so@
libajaxg.so@          libmeme.a             libplplot.so.5@
libajaxg.so.0@        libmeme.la*           libplplot.so.5.0.0*
libajaxg.so.1.1.0*    libmeme.so@           libwrap.a*
libckit.a             libmeme.so.1@
libckit.la*           libmeme.so.2.1.3*

so this looks okay...

but......

 > banana
Bending and curvature plot in B-DNA
Input sequence: sequences/testdna1.fa
Graph type [x11]:
Error in XCreatePixmap: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter).

The outfile (banana.profile) is fine, as a text file, so the algorithmic 
part of banana is fine.  If I enter xterm at the Graph type prompt, I get 
the plot in the Xterm window.  Am I failing to point correctly at 
something, or are the x11 libraries the problem?

All suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers
Derek
