[Gnuplot-info] gnuplot crashes when plotting

[Kiril S. <kr...@vi...>]

Hi list,

I am using Fedora Core 4 and I did a yum update yesterday. The version
of gnuplot that I have is 4.0.0-8.

Here is the error message:

gnuplot> plot sin(x)

Since gnuplot worked fine until now, I bet it is not the problem. Any
help will be appreciated!

Thank you in advance,

Hi Kiril, have you tried to recompile gnuplot after the update?
Probably, it'll fix the problem.

Thas been reported before.  FC4 seems to be the only Linux distrubtion 
on the planet (!) that shows this behaviour.  To me, that indicates the 
bug is either in some highly unusual configuration aspect of FC4, or a 
plainly broken binary package --- maybe it is too much to expect from a 
Linux distributor these days to run a freshly built program's "make 
check", at least once, before signing it an official RPM.
