Install ncarg 2. Install allegro-devel 3. Additional info:
I believe this needs fixing on ncarg side as allegro-devel is installed much more frequently than the FORTRAN77 Graphics Library.
What I don't understand is what happened to the concept of namespace, and not polluting it. Why do people create C functions called line()?
So... as far as I can tell, both are broken, and I'm not sure why package popularity is relevant at all. AFAICS not a single allegro function or symbol has a namespace prefix like it should.
Both are broken. I've renamed the man3 pages in ncarg to ncarg_<name>. Jindrich, I suggest allegro do the same or similar. I'm closing the bug though since they can both be installed now.
