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.

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

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:

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

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
