Necessary Libraries

[Harald H. <h.h...@tu...>]

Hello everybody,

I have some problems compiling the current cvs version of gnuplot.
configure does not find the libraries libgd and libpdf.

libgd: is installed, version 2.0.

libpdf: is not installed (thus configure does the right job here).

Thus, I have to different problems:
- Why does gnuplot reject to work with my gd library?
- I have not found any information in the gnuplot documentation which
  versions of the libraries are necessary and where to get them if
  not installed. Am I blind here, or is there really no information
  about it? I think a file "Requirements" or a section in INSTALL
  should be added.

This is why I have not tested my patches for the enhanced text mode
in other terminals than postscript, my gnuplot does not have any
further terminals that support enhanced text modes.

And a last short question: Have my several patches in the last years
been enough that my name will be added to the list of contributors?

Yours
Harald
