Hmm. It turns out not to be as easy as it seems.

The difference with gnuplot_x11 is that the latter is a compiled file.=20
Let me explain, in case one of you has an idea to solve this mess.

When 'make distcheck' enters ./demo to do 'make check', =20
GNUPLOT_DRIVER_DIR is set to " `pwd`/../src ", so that gnuplot_x11 is=20
looked in the right place. I thought I would just had to similarly set=20
WXT_PNG_DIR to " `pwd` /../src/wxterminal/bitmaps/png ", but it does not=20
work. When I say " 'make distcheck' enters ./demo", in fact it enters=20
<gnuplot root>/gnuplot-4.1.0/_build/demo and there is nothing in=20
<gnuplot_root>/gnuplot-4.1.0/_build/src/wxterminal/bitmaps/png as 'make=20
install' has not been called, whereas gnuplot_x11 is is=20
<gnuplot_root>/gnuplot-4.1.0/_build/src because it has just been compiled.

I thought I could set WXT_PNG_DIR to " `pwd`=20
/../../../src/wxterminal/bitmaps/png ", but that would not work if you=20
just try 'make check' in <gnuplot_root>.

I would need an absolute path to <gnuplot_root>, but I don't know how to=20
get this one.

Any suggestion ?
