greetings,
I'm trying to produce png plots from and ascii meteogram file. I have
acquired a perl (meteo_plot.pl) program that reads the ascii file and
supposed to also create .gp script to plot the output in png format.
However I get the following error message in line two of the .gp
script.I use gnuplot version 4, patch level 0. I have also attached the
perl program and the .gp script for your inspection.
[hrmoper@cluster d00_meteogram]$ meteo_plot.pl M_SSKA20100831 -e t2m,ps
-o sska.png
SSKA: Tu 31.08.2010 00 UTC 2 variables
gnuplot> set terminal png small size 600, 900 enhanced
^
"meteo_plot32045.gp", line 2: expecting: {small, medium,
large},[no]transparent, or {monochrome, gray, color, [xRRGGBB] }
Error 256 executing gnuplot meteo_plot32045.gp
Thanks.

No such version. The actual version numbers look like this:
Version 4.0, patchlevel 0

Your gnuplot executable doesn't have the right set of terminals for the
tool you're using to drive gnuplot. You'll need to adapt your external
tool or rebuild a current gnuplot with the required terminal drivers.

Thanks Hans,
Actually you are right it is ;
[hrmoper@cluster ~]$ gnuplot --version
gnuplot 4.0 patchlevel 0
I also noticed from the help menu that I need libgd to create png images. I tried installation of libgd, but I still get the same errors.
PNG images are created using libgd, with optional support for TrueType
and Adobe Type 1 fonts via libfreetype. Version 1.8 or greater of libgd
is required.
I however have a small conversion script, from postscript to png, which works perfectly. For the time bieng I will create my images in postscript and convert to png. But I would have liked to create the images directly to png.
Thanks.

You really should consider to update to a more recent version. > I also noticed from the help menu that I need libgd to create png > images. I tried installation of libgd, but I still get the same errors. That means your installation of libgd didn't work as planned. Was that a binary package made by your distributor, or did you build it yourself? |

So what did the libgd related messages from ./configure look like? Is there, by any chance, a "development" package accompanying that binary package, and that you didn't install? |
