Re: [Gnuplot-info] "sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence" while compiling gnuplot 6.0.0 on macos 13.6.3

[Ingo T. <ing...@gm...>]

Dear Ethan,

I have just solved this by installing gsed and setting a symlink to sed.
It seems that Apple's version of sed is outdated. Inserting LC_ALL=C in
front of every sed command in the Makefile seems to be lot of work, so
I'm happy about my solution, although it might be a bit dirty.

Regards,
Ingo
