plugin library misconfiguration

[Dan O'Huiginn]

On running ggobi (having apt-get install'd it, not changed any settings), I get the errors below to stderr. The program itself basically seems to work (I've not explored too closely), but crashes if I use the 'variable manipulation' tool. Not sure if the latter is a manifestation of the plugin problem or something else entirely.

This is in an Edgy system which has been updated from Dapper.

I also have this problem. Actually, plugins are not loaded, and therefore the tools menu shows much less items it should. However, a link from /usr/lib/ggobi/plugins to /usr/share/ggobi/plugins solves the issue.

Many thanks, it helped!

1) navigate to the directory
cd /usr/share/ggobi

2) make a symbolic link (as root)
sudo ln --symbolic /usr/lib/ggobi/plugins
