I installed GDL, the IDL alternative, to run some IDL code for my project. But when I try to call plot function in GDL it gives the following error and exits:

*(gdl:1003695): Gtk-WARNING *: 22:57:44.888: gtk_disable_setlocale() must be called before gtk_init() Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I am using ubuntu 20.04 with kubuntu-desktop. Any suggestions are welcome. Image of the error

GDL uses the plplot and wxwidgets library, this looks like a wxwidgets library problem. Anyway, the good place to report bugs or ask for advice for GDL is on their github repository

  • Thank you! I solved the problem by compiling plplot using the source file to /usr/local/ and then compiling gdl with flag -DPLPLOTDIR=/usr/local. – Jyothis Chandran Jun 22 '21 at 19:02
