I attempted to install spyview on macOS High Sierra from source the following way:

cd spyview/source
autoreconf -i
./configure
make

autoreconf -i was required to create the configure bash.
After the above, I got an error about missing constexpr definitions in ./spyview/class.H. This could be solved by changing the indicated instances of const to constexpr as indicated by the error message (thanks to @yausern)
make then gave the following error:

./mypam.h:5:10: fatal error: 'pam.h' file not found
#include <pam.h>

repeating autoreconf -i and ./configure doesn't help. However, pam.h is definitely on system installed via brew install netpbm. My workaround was to copy pam.h and pm.h (about which make complains right after) into ./spyview/

Next error message after make:

spyview.C:687:16: error: no matching literal operator for call to
      'operator""_STF' with arguments of types 'const char *' and
      'unsigned long', and no matching literal operator template

I have no idea how to go on from here

(from Mark)
I have a 2D ".dat" file and a ".meta.txt" file. These work fine if I open the file directly using "DAT with meta.txt".
However, if I first load the file using "Gnuplot format" and then try to reload it as "DAT with meta.txt", Spyview uses the Y loop metadata for the X coordinate and the Z loop metadata (which is set to no loop) for the Y range. Therefore it only loads one line (the single Z point) and as many columns as rows were in the original file (The number of Y points). This seems like a bug

As a side note, it appears that, if I load using a meta file, I can not flip through the columns of a file using "3D XSection" and can only do this if I load as "Gnuplot format". Is this intended?
