I think I have success with gnuplot. Spoilers... er... _details_ follow.
I took Lee's source and did a "make install". That didn't work, but I
was alert enough (It's 1am) to do a "sudo make install". This did
"something", including adding something to /usr/local/bin called
"gnuplot_x11". The result, however, is that gnuplot now works with
x11!!! I'm so happy. :) :) What tipped me off was a line in the INSTALL
file in gnuplot, which said,
---
The only files where the runtime location is defined at compile time are
gnuplot.gih and show.c. This is important if gnuplot is not installed
by running
'make install'.
---
It didn't seem to relate directly, but it twigged my curiosity. Can
anyone tell me, is it usual to have to sudo things to install them for
x11?
Also, I wonder if putting both "gnuplot" and "gnuplot_x11" in
/usr/local/bin would have the same effect, and it would work? I would
test this, if I knew how to "unmake install", if you know what I mean!
:)
Well, to anyone who's interested, I'm including the output of the make
install command below; I can't quite follow everything it did, but I'd
sure like to know _what it did.
Thanks everyone who helped me out on this, particularly Lee, Dima, and
Nick.
