The build script assumes that these libraries are in .tar.gz files located in the top of the Gnuplot tree.  The script will build static libraries just for Gnuplot to use.  I often work on older Linux boxes that I can't change and don't have the newer versions of these libraries.

Hello,

I might contact you off-line, but the binary I compiled with a
slightly modified script that you posted still resulted in plethora of
dependencies on Mac OS X. In particular it would be nice to remove all
those dependencies that begin with /sw/:
        /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.2.3)
        /sw/lib/libpng12.0.dylib (compatibility version 30.0.0,
current version 30.0.0)
        /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.11.0,
current version 4.11.0)
        /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 6.2.0,
current version 6.2.0)
        /usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib (compatibility version
1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
        /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version
6.3.0, current version 6.3.0)

Libraries that were not addressed (and could be removed later):
        /sw/lib/libreadline.5.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0,
current version 5.0.0)
        /sw/lib/libhistory.5.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0,
current version 5.0.0)
        /sw/lib/ncurses/libncurses.5.dylib (compatibility version
5.0.0, current version 5.0.0)
        /sw/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current
version 7.0.0)
        /sw/lib/libpdf.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current
version 7.2.0)
        /sw/Library/Frameworks/AquaTerm.framework/Versions/A/AquaTerm
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

These dependencies are OK:
        /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation
(compatibility version 300.0.0, current version 567.40.0)
        /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0,
current version 7.4.0)
        /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0,
current version 1.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0,
current version 88.3.11)

In any case: thanks a lot for showing me where to start. I need to
figure out how to solve the remaining dependencies, but it's a good
start.

This portion of code fails here (I need to figure out why), so I have
removed the "case" temporary and only put "make" on that place.

Thanks again,
