Re: [Gnuplot-info] set terminal png:unknown or ambiguous terminal type

Thank you for your reply!

Here was how I installed the gnuplot:  su; ./configure; make; make  
check; make install;

After finished the installation I opened a terminal window, typed  
"gnuplot". I then typed " set terminal to png" and got the error  
message. The log file I checked is "gnuplot-4.2.3/config.log", the  
words I found are in the log file. I do think the config.log file  
belongs to the "gnuplot", but maybe this is not the correct file I  
should check?
