Re: [Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#461558: octave fails to invoke gnuplot



Hello,

Quoting Folkert van Heusden <folkert@vanheusden.com>:

When trying to plot a graph from octave, it fails to do so with all
kinds of gnuplot errors:
gnuplot> set terminal aqua 1 enhanced
                      ^
line 0: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list
...
-- System Information:
Debian Release: lenny/sid
  APT prefers testing
  APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash

Why would gnulot be trying to use the 'aqua' terminal? It is non-existent on non-apple builds of gnuplot. *That* is your problem. Your script works fine(produces a plot) even in an old build of 2.9.17 I have on my current machine.

If you have a ~/.gnuplot file, that is the first place to look. The next place I would suggest is ~/.octaverc and any project specific ones you might have($PWD/.octave)

Regards,
Imran
