epslatex problems

[Valentina B. <val...@da...>]

With the following settings:

set term epslatex input blacktext colour

I get the following error messages:

    \GenericError{(gnuplot) \space\space\space\@spaces}{%
      Package color not loaded in conjunction with
      terminal option `colourtext'%
    }{See the gnuplot documentation for explanation.%
    }{Either use 'blacktext' in gnuplot or load the package
      color.sty in LaTeX.}%

and

    \GenericError{(gnuplot) \space\space\space\@spaces}{%
      Package graphicx or graphics not loaded%
    }{See the gnuplot documentation for explanation.%
    }{The gnuplot epslatex terminal needs graphicx.sty or graphics.sty.}%

Why? I am using the "input" mode, so I should not have to specify any 
package for latex....I am surely missing something....

Ciao
Valentina

What makes you think that?  gnuplot's pslatex output is LaTeX code using 
commands from certain packages.  Those packages *cannot* be loaded by 
the gnuplot code itself --- that has to be done in the preamble of your 
document.  It says so quite clearly, too, both in the error messages you 
quoted, and in the documentation they tell you to read.
