[Gnuplot-info] trouble creating ps output

[Vaughn C. <vc...@jp...>]

I've been using gnuplot for many years without difficulty, but recently, 
when I upgraded my os to RHE 4.0, I ceased to be able to generate 
postscript output.  I'm using the version of gnuplot that's distributed 
with RHE:

        G N U P L O T
        Version 4.0 patchlevel 0
        last modified Thu Apr 15 14:44:22 CEST 2004
        System: Linux 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp

My script file has no changed much over the years & the following 
example is typical:

set term postscript  'Helvetica-Oblique' 14
set out "junk.ps"
set title "Helix_nb"
set label 1 "" at 30,-15 left
set label 4 "" at 30,-18 left
set label 2 "RHCP" at -30,-1 left
set label 3 "LHCP" at 30,-14 left
set xlabel 'Theta (deg)'
set ylabel 'Directivity (dBi)'
set data style lines
set yrange [-40:10]
set ytics -40,10,10
set xrange [-120:120]
set xtics -120,30,120
set grid
plot 'helix_nb-FAR.out' index 0 using 1:8,'helix_nb-FAR.out' index 0 
using 1:10, 'helix_nb_no_disk-FAR.out' index 0 using 
1:8,'helix_nb_no_disk-FAR.out' index 0 using 1:10, 
'helix_nb_ped_old-FAR.out' index 0 using 1:8,'helix_nb_ped_old-FAR.out' 
index 0 using 1:10, 'helix_GEN-FAR.out' index 0 using 
1:8,'helix_GEN-FAR.out' index 0 using 1:10
set term x11
replot


The screen plot is always good, but the junk.ps file has become true junk...

I've tried lots of tweaks like using the "eps" option, but to no avail...


HELP
