First I want to say that this library is an excellent idea for a plotting

I have tried to use this very interesting and nice idea on an ALPHA
machine with OSF4.0 without success. I can create the .oct file with
mkoctfile but octave terminates with a "segmentation fault" on the first
pg Command (pgpage) from the demo. Also other pg commands don't work.

Has someone success with the pg-library and octave ?
