Hello everybody, I have some problems compiling the current cvs version of gnuplot. configure does not find the libraries libgd and libpdf. libgd: is installed, version 2.0. libpdf: is not installed (thus configure does the right job here). Thus, I have to different problems: - Why does gnuplot reject to work with my gd library? - I have not found any information in the gnuplot documentation which versions of the libraries are necessary and where to get them if not installed. Am I blind here, or is there really no information about it? I think a file "Requirements" or a section in INSTALL should be added. This is why I have not tested my patches for the enhanced text mode in other terminals than postscript, my gnuplot does not have any further terminals that support enhanced text modes. And a last short question: Have my several patches in the last years been enough that my name will be added to the list of contributors?

You have to provide more detail. We cannot guess what isn't working on your system. |

In /usr/lib, I find the following files: libgd.so.2, libgd.so.2.0.0 (where in fact, the first is a symbolic link to the second). Ah, I am missing libgd.so. May be, this is the problem. And, gd.h is missing, too. I first will reinstall that and ask again, if necessary. I don't understand why my libgd is not totally installed. I think, my SuSE 8.2 is the last SuSE on my computers, it is getting worse form version to version. As Hans-Bernhard has told me, the information which library to use is stored in the *.trm files. That is a good place for the developers, but I think we should prepare another file for users who want to compile gnuplot for themselves. They will hardly look into the trm files. Have you been able to read all of my mail? Hans-Bernhard has reported, that he only could read until half of the mail.

And, > gd.h is missing, too. Yes. You need both libgd.so and gd.h However, I recommend that you download version 2.0.21 from boutell.com, and built from source. Version 2.0.21 is the first to correctly support symbol font encoding, which is needed for full support of enhanced text mode in gnuplot. > I first will reinstall that and ask again, if > necessary.

I do not know how SuSE arrange their packages, but Mandrake and Redhat both split libraries into two packages. The base package contains the library itself and is suitable for use by pre-built applications. The second rpm is called whatever-devel-xxx.rpm and contains the header files (*.h) and the additional library definitions needed to build new programs. -- Ethan A Merritt merritt@u.washington.edu Biomolecular Structure Center (206)543-1421 Mailstop 357742 University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195 |

Thank you all for your answers. But shouldn't we really prepare a file requirements.txt or a section Requirements in the README where all needed third-party libraries are listed? It could be possible to write the library information into the *.trm files with a special format and to generate the "Requirements" section automatically, e.g. by using grep. Yours Harald PS: I have tried to avoid all Umlauts. I hope this mail will be sent as it is, now. -- Harald Harders Langer Kamp 8 Technische Universitaet Braunschweig D-38106 Braunschweig Institut fuer Werkstoffe Germany E-Mail: h.h...@tu...

IMHO, people listed in docs/titlepage* are those spending an enormous amount of time on gnuplot development (new features, patches, documentation, reviews of work of others), support, and other activities over a period of at least several years. People kindly contributing patches (incl. new features) get the proper credit in ChangeLog file. --- PM |
