Re: [Gnuplot-info] epslatex outputs into different directories sometimes

[Thomas S. <t.s...@fz...>]

the easiest way to solve the problem:

replace the output filename ('dest') in routine 'term_set_output' in
'term.c' with the fully expanded filename just before opening the file.

there would be two functions for this:

realpath() and canonicalize_file_name()

but

realpath() - it's manpage says one should avoid this function
canonicalize_file_name() - is only existing on systems with glibc

and - both are unable to do tilde-expansion.
this wouldn't be a problem, if they would return NULL in this case, but
realpath() produces a segmentation fault on some systems (e.g. SuSE 10.3).

i think, a remark in the manual that 'cd' shouldn't be used after 'set
output ...' and before 'plot ...' is the best one could do in the moment.
