Re: GNUplot "not responding" Windows 7 fix!!!

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello

I am building binaries windows 7 home premium 64bit.
I cannot reproduce the phenomena on my PC.
(I do not install them in the 'C:\Program Files' but in the different named folder.)


If you rename 'binary' to 'bin', the procedure will cause fontconfig error on cairo based terminals. 
In the case, please move bin/etc folder in the same hierarchy as 'bin'.

Regards
