[Gnuplot-info] Compiling 5.x CVS on Debian Wheezy

[David D. <da...@mu...>]

Hello everyone,

I am attempting to compile gnu plot 5.x from CVS on Debian Wheezy (7.6) but configure returns a variety of library not found warnings and resulting lack of support for certain, desired terminals (png or pngcairo). The libraries are installed via apt or manually (zlib). I’m curious if anyone has created a package or can otherwise assist. Thanks in advance for your time and insights.

The gnuplot source code was successfully prepared.
Run configure now, then make && make install to build and install gnuplot.
