[Gnuplot-info] gnuplot crashes when plotting

[Kiril S. <kr...@vi...>]

Hi list,

I am using Fedora Core 4 and I did a yum update yesterday. The version
of gnuplot that I have is 4.0.0-8.

Here is the error message:

gnuplot> plot sin(x)

Since gnuplot worked fine until now, I bet it is not the problem. Any
help will be appreciated!

Thank you in advance,
