Help in setting/configure up gnuplot

[NDO]

Hi all!

I am running hp-ux 11.31, so I have download and installed the following products:
gnuplot 4.4.0
zlib-1.2.5
flex 2.5.35
gettext 0.18.1.1
m4 1.4.15

Then after swinstall gnuplot.... depot it created the following directories:
/usr/local/bin/gnuplot
/usr/local/lib/gnuplot
/usr/local/doc/gnuplot
/usr/local/share/gnuplot
/usr/local/libexec/gnuplot
/var/adm/sw/products/gnuplot

Now if I go inside "/usr/local/bin/gnuplot
" and run ./gnuplot, I bump into the following error:
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libreadline.so'.
Killed

I´ve try to find in google that library, but I cant find it.

On the other hand by searching, in google, I am supposed to run "./configue". BUT where?

I need to use gnuplot to plot performance stats from glance.
Your help will appreciated.

F.R.

download gnuplot from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/4.4.2/gp442win32.zip/download?use_mirror=autoselect

Note: this link is officially redirected by http://www.gnuplot.info/

Installation
------------
Installation instructions are available in the source itself; the short
version for linux/unix-like systems is to unpack the tarball and then
build it:
cd gnuplot-4.4.1 ; ./configure ; make
test it:
make check
install it:
make install

Pay careful attention to the output of the ./configure script.
It may indicate that some output drivers have been omitted because the
necessary support libraries were not found. In general you need to have
previously installed the "*-devel-*" versions of these libraries.

Hi

Ok, I can do that: But what is wrong withe the gnuplot 4.4.0 that I have downloaded from http://hpux.connect.org.uk ?

It is better to compile and install third party application rather than installing a depot.

[NDO]

Hi

The download file you suggested I beleive is for windows systems.My operating system is hp-ux 11.31


F.R.

[kemo]

hello

don't download the ZIP file, you should navigate to the required tar file by clicking on the gunplot link under home in the middle of the page.

it will take you to the below link

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/4.4.2/

download the tar archive and use it.

Note: please don't forget to assign points to the answers which helped you.

thanks

>I have download and installed the following products:
>dld.so: Unable to find library libreadline.so.

The runtime dependencies include more than you downloaded, including readline:
expat fontconfig freetype gd gettext jpeg libXpm libiconv libpng ncurses readline termcap zlib cairo libXrender pixman glib2 pango libXft

You should use depothelper to get all the dependencies:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/depothelper-2.00/

Hi!


I have installed depothelper using swinstall, I have also install its dependencies which are m4 and make, but I have got another error: "gmake: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop." when doing
./gmake install

>but I have got another error: "gmake: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop." when doing

Did it say you needed to use gmake to install depothelper? (I guess it does but they are pretty sparse. )-:

Does it tell you what directory you need to be in to do that? (That's a common cause of that error message.)

[NDO]

from installation page says:

to install

gmake install

to test

depothelper -l

but it does not say in which directory you need to run it, but I am running it from inside /usr/local/bin/depothelper


F.R.

[Dennis Handly]

Looking at the files in the depot, I don't see any makefiles. Try going on to the "depothelper -l" step.

[NDO]

Hi

I´ve installed all the dependencies stated but I still face an error when running ./gnuplot which is:

"/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libwx_gtk2_richtext-2.8.so'.
Killed
"

When using depothelper gives me the following error:
./depothelper -l gnuplot
ERROR: Can't get list of ia64-11.31 packages from hpux.connect.org.uk - aborted

I have to say that this server does not have a connection to the internet.

Hi

I know why there is an error when running the depothelper. the server is not connected to the internet.

Can anybody help with the following error when running ./gnuplot which is:
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libwx_gtk2_richtext-2.8.so'.
Killed

Now I need to use the data collect by glance and use it with gnuplot.

Hi!

Please can you confirm:

The next step to plot sar or glance outputs I need to first:

1. setup a web server (using apache, php and mysql)
2. create sar data from e.g. sar -Mu 2 2 2
3. use the output file created by that command to create inside gnuplot prompt a configuration file
4.generate an image file inside gnuplot
5. place that file inside httdoc directory in apache

6. create an html file and include that file???


Is this approach correct?


I would appreciate your comments

Hi!

I´ve produced the first graph using sar -u output.
I really did not need to create a web page to publish the pics, after producing the pics (png files) I incorporated those in the normal word report.

Thank you all
