Re: [Gnuplot-info] Attempting to install terminal wxt w/o success

[Alan C. <ala...@gm...>]

You didn't mention your operating system I don't think, you probably
shouldn't have to do all this manually.  With Debian/Raspbian/Ubuntu
you'd just type
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install gnuplot

With OpenBSD which is about the messiest thing I've used, you'd do
something (as root) like
  cd /usr/ports/math/gnuplot
then make install.  After you'd built everything it needed.

But most packages require other packages.  Debian will (mostly)
install everything needed when you do the apt-get install gnuplot.
With OpenBSD I used to get a list from somewhere and install all the
needed stuff first, then gnuplot.  With OpenBSD I chose to compile
everything from source myself, with Linux I'm installing pre-compiled
binary packages which don't include anything extra.  Both methods work
but don't mix them.  In Linux if I wanted to  build gnuplot to use
wxwidgets I'd probably need a gnuplot-dev which includes the stuff
left out of the binary packages.  This is also a nuisance if you want
to build something outside the tree but build it using dependencies
you think you have installed.  A few months ago I built the latest
Firefox using mostly binaries that were installed but I had to add
several -dev packages because the install looks for headers and
libraries an average user doesn't have.
