The problem does seem to be in PLoT. When I run demo-1.ss (in C:\Program Files\PLT-FULL-3.99.0.8\collects\plot\demos on my machine), it generally has an empty plot. Occasionally it will show the plot - maybe 1 time in 10 or so, the other times it is just the axes and labels. [Don't be confused by the image in the source file, which also prints out when evaluated. I just comment it out or delete it. Then just hit the run button repeatedly. Also, it has to be run in the Pretty Big language because of build-list.]
<br><br>I also checked it with some of the science collections tests (for example, uniform-int-histogram-int-example.ss in the example subdirectory of the science collection, which doesn't have the subcollection reference problem). It exhibits the same behavior.
<br><br>For the PLaneT subcollection problem, the exact error message I get is: bernoulli-example.ss:1:9: planet: bad module path in: (planet "bernoulli.ss" ("williams" "science.plt") "random-distributions"). But, (require (planet "
science.ss" ("williams" "science.plt"))) works fine.<br><br>But there is a noticeable speedup in the overall test execution.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 3, 2008 3:25 PM, Doug Williams <

I tried running the science collection examples in 3.99. Most of the plots were just empty, so I need to see if it's a problem with the PLoT package or with my code. [They didn't error, just gave empty plots.] For the ones that did run and which are computationally intensive (with flonums) - like Chebyshev evaluation and (especially) the ordinary differential equation solvers - they 'seemed' much faster. But, it's anecdotal - I just eyeballed it. I have to track down my uses of set-cdr!, etc in the simulation collection before I try any of my larger examples there.
<br><br>One interesting problem came up. Has the use of subcollections in PLaneT changed with 3.99? For example, (require (planet "bernoulli.ss" ("williams" "science.plt") "random-distributions")) says it can't find the file, but it works fine in V372 (and before).
