[Gnuplot-info] Re: $(gnuplot --version) don't work

[only4 <onl...@ka...>]

Or it works only in vers >=4 ! In fact, I have a Debian-stable system, with
gnuplot 3.7. gnuplot --version don't work here.
Do you have the chance to compare my error with your debian-stable system,
if you have one?
I hope the newsgroup can help me
