Comment 18 for bug 374543

Thanks for the pointers and help! The author of qtiplot does contribute alot of upstream changes and improvements to those libraries, but unfortunately for us, qtiplot is released prior to the changed libraries being released, causing their need for including statically linked libraries. It seems that he has added new functionality to qwtplot3d that we don't have in our version yet, and we won't get until the archives open for syncing. On top of that, they have released up to 0.9.7.10, and those versions include all the statically linked libraries in 0.9.7.8 and a statically linked qwt!

For now, I'll have people use the PPA as a work around for bugs [1], and work on qtiplot in Lucid.
