Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnuplot

Using Adept Manager:
   1. Install gnuplot
   2. sudo find / -name gnuplot

        returns the following

/usr/lib/gnuplot
/usr/local/share/gnuplot
/usr/local/libexec/gnuplot
/usr/share/omf/gnuplot
/usr/share/doc-base/gnuplot
/usr/share/doc/gnuplot
/usr/share/gnuplot

all of which are either directories and one is an ASCII file.

The version in the repository is version 4.0 and the latest
from sourceforge is 4.2. I installed it, but it doesn't
find the fonts, so I'm looking for help.

Thanks in Advance and I'll be glad to try any fixes.

Running kubuntu 7.04 with all the latest updates on an
AMD 64 single processor system.

Again, thanks,

Thanks for your bug report Chuck. Basically, the gnuplot meta depends on gnuplot-nox and gnuplot-x11:

[...]
Version: 4.0.0-5
Depends: gnuplot-nox (= 4.0.0-5), gnuplot-x11 (= 4.0.0-5)
[...]

But you can choose one of these or both (no need to install by meta package).
All is OK with packages. Did you try to install using APT or Synaptic?

 William,

I have both gnuplot-nox and gnuplot-x11 installed. It is some problem
with

set terminal epslatex

and then using splot to create a 3D image. I found one of the
sample programs that worked. Looks like you have to do a set output
to create the image. I'm working on it.

The documentation is needing some examples with images in it instead
of the demos showing everything.... IMHO.

No, problem. Thanks for the feedback and I'll be working on the issue
with my images.

ciao dude,
