Hi Ethan,

thanks for the reply.

I'm afraid it is rather a case of "everything".

I'd been using Gentoo for the last 15y which as was fast, worked well 
and reliably. Sadly the maintenance overhead was enormous every time I 
did an update. I may not have made a good choice in moving to Fedora, 
maybe. For the moment the only issues I'm getting are from gnuplot CVS 
builds.

I will backtrack to the distro's gnuplot as a starting point.

At least if I'm the only one seeing this kind of thing , there's a good 
chance I can fix it locally,

Thanks, Peter.
