I followed your instruction, but I get error in my Ubuntu 9.10:

If you have some ideas, would you please let me know.

Thank you.

You shouldn’t use checkinstall or paco or any somesuch to recompile it, but the proper Debian/Ubuntu package from your distribution – it should be of better quality than something you stitch together with spit and checkinstall.

In short:
add a deb-src line to /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get build-dep gnuplot;
mkdir /tmp/build; cd /tmp/build
apt-get source gnuplot
cd gnuplot*
pico debian/rules
# change –with-readline=builtin to
# –with-readline=gnu the two times it appears and save file
# change whatever else you like
dpkg-buildpackage;
cd ..;
sudo dpkg -i *.deb;

Cheers,
I.

regarding looptools (whatever this is), in the source directory where you’ve run “make install”, run “make uninstall” – this only works if the developers provided this make target.

regarding the gtk library, read the comments further above: “you need to install the development files for libgtk.
“sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev” or install the libgtk2.0-dev package via synaptic.”

Can you help me with. When I installed WXGTK it ran into this mistake :

*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why…
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error:
The development files for GTK+ were not found. For GTK+ 2, please
ensure that pkg-config is in the path and that gtk+-2.0.pc is
installed. For GTK+ 1.2 please check that gtk-config is in the path,
and that the version is 1.2.3 or above. Also check that the
libraries returned by ‘pkg-config gtk+-2.0 –libs’ or ‘gtk-config
–libs’ are in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent.

I dint known what exactly to do next. please help me as soon as posible. thanks

Anyway, gnuplot in Debian/Ubuntu now uses libedit which is a pretty good alternative to GNU readline.
