Description:   Opened: 2004-05-05 21:25 0000
EMBOSS programs using the plplot library (such as prettyplot and dottup)
terminate with an error message (see below) when trying to produce X11 graphs.
This is due to a misconfiguration of the PLPLOT_LIB environment variable, which
sould be set to "/usr/share/EMBOSS" (this is where the font files are) rather
than "/usr/share/EMBOSS/plplot/lib", (which does not even exist). This change
should go in Portage file : app-sci/emboss/files/22emboss, which is copied to
/etc/env.d/ during EMBOSS installation.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
$ prettyplot asis::ACTGACTGCTAGCATCGACAT
Actual Results:  
Program aborted (see error message below) 

Expected Results:  
Find the font files in /usr/share/EMBOSS and draw the X11 graph. 

Error message from prettyplot output : 

PLPLOT_LIB="/usr/share/EMBOSS/plplot/lib" 

Cannot open library file: plstnd5.fnt 

Please set PLPLOT_LIB to the plplot/lib directory under emboss 

*** PLPLOT ERROR *** 
Unable to open font file 
Program aborted
