The gnuplot is automatically downloaded and installed through the service
provided by the ubuntu. I personally am not familiar with building a binary
version of any software, so I never tried that. If it can be built this way
to fix the problem, I will give it a try. But a direct link to the steps on
how to do that is preferred,

Thanks,

John
