indeed.

Well, those of you who have been reading this thread know that I didn't
have the x11 sdk installed. I have since installed it, and there is no
difference; ie, X11 still fails to work with gnuplot; I even rebooted
for fun. The error I'm getting from gnuplot is:
exec failed (X11 driver): No such file or directory
Someone asked whether I should set TERM to xterm and not X11, I think.
Anyway, yes, my TERM variable (shell) is set to xterm. "terminal" in
gnuplot is set to x11.
Also, I notice that when I run gnuplot's ./config it fails to recognize
X. That is, the script outputs:
checking for preprocessor stringizing operator... (cached) yes
checking for X... (cached) no
checking for MS-DOS/djgpp/libGRX... no
checking for NeXT... no
checking for Apple MacOS X... yes
checking for BeOS... no
checking for sin... (cached) yes
checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes
So, it _is detecting OS X, and it is NOT detecting X (Unless X is
something else?)
However, the configure script also gives me:
configure: warning: `missing' script is too old or missing
and
creating Makefile
./configure: cd: /Users/markian/gnuplotdir/From: No such file or
directory
** Configuration summary for gnuplot 3.8h.0:
It seems to me that something is missing on my system, or I wouldn't
get the "exec failed (x11 driver)" error. What the heck does that
_mean? Can anyone confirm a gnuplot _working with Apple's X11, but NOT
XDarwin?
But (and maybe I don't understand something here), I _can run gnuplot
from a linux box remotely, WITH X11; the graphics work fine. So why
can't I compile it for X11 locally on my mac?
Further ideas are appreciated!
