Bonjour, I just compiled and installed RC2 on a Linux Laptop with SuSE 9.3 (+ all latest upgrades I could find). I had very few issues. Thank you for the nice job! Here are the pbs: * libgd: I had to manually create a link from libgd.so.2 to libgd.so in /usr/lib. It was not found by configure. Also gd was installed, but not gd-devel so that "make" crashed when looking for gd.h (which was not there). probably configure should look for both libgd and gd.h * Pango: SuSE comes with pango 1.10.2 and I could not find newer packages. I compiled 1.10.4 and had no further problems at configuration/compilation time. But... * Wxt: The terminal works (i.e. I get all the nice plots in the window). However all texts are ridiculously small (size 1 point?) and useless. I could not figure out why. * UTF8: Results of "utf8.dem" are unreliable. May come from my fonts installation (which I never really understood). More specifically, I can not set encoding to "utf8" (I know it is not in the list...), and could not find how to get such characters as "=E9", "=E0", etc... which are mandatory in french. Note: I use the standard SuSE setting : LANG =3D fr_FR.UTF-8, so neither "default" nor "iso_8859_15" work. The colors are incredibly nice! Thank you. Jacques Le Bourlot PS: The "x2 =3D f(x1)" ticks is something I have prayed for for years. I hate computing and setting the x2tics by hand each time. Please include i= t ASAP. Tanks. |

Either ldconfig should do that automatically at installation time, or there must be some good reason it didn't. > It was not found by configure. That was actually a good thing, since it didn't really work. configure should only find actually working libraries. > Also gd was installed, but not > gd-devel so that "make" crashed when looking for gd.h (which was not > there). probably configure should look for both libgd and gd.h Not really. It only has to look for gdlib-config and trust its output. |

Here is the corresponding thread:=20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.gnuplot.devel/5319 I don't clearly remember if I tried with pango 1.10.4. Would you mind=20 trying with a newer version of pango, in the 1.12 or 1.14 series ?

The "encoding" tells how to interpret 1-byte characters. utf8 uses multibyte characters *instead* of using the 1-byte representations. =20 > > and could not find how to get such characters as "=E9", "=E0", etc... =E9 is Unicode code point 00E9 =E0 is Unicode code point 00E0 If your locate is set to fr_FR.UTF-8, then when you type =E0 on the keyboard it generates a two-byte utf-8 sequence that represents that Unicode code point. This is *different* than the 1-byte representation used by iso_8859_15. You cannot mix them. You must pick one or the other (preferably utf-8). If you are using KDE, a convenient tool to explore this is kcharselect. =20 I'm sure some equivalent tool must exist on other desktops. =2D-=20 Ethan A Merritt Biomolecular Structure Center University of Washington, Seattle WA |

I usually use X11 as a term, then turn to postscript at the very end. Thank you for the advices. Jacques Le Bourlot |
