My program exits with the error message Unable to either (1) open/find or (2) allocate memory for the font file

The PLplot library can't find the font files plstnd5.fnt and plxtnd5.fnt. Set the environment variable PLPLOT_LIB to the directory where these files are, e.g. export PLPLOT_LIB=/usr/local/plplot/data.


I am trying to find a way to plot to screen (using Fortran 95) and exit the programme without killing the X output window (like the PGPLOT /xserver output option). Is there any?
