sarcheck - how to get gnuplot to make png or jpeg

[Geoff Wild]

Currently evaluating sarcheck...but...I want pictures...so I installed the following depots:

freetype-2.1.9-sd-11.11.depot
zlib-1.2.1-sd-11.11.depot
gd-2.0.33-sd-11.11.depot
libiconv-1.9.2-sd-11.11.depot
libpng-1.2.7-sd-11.11.depot
xpm-3.4k-sd-11.11.depot
jpeg-6b-sd-11.11.depot
gettext-0.14.1-sd-11.11.depot
fontconfig-2.3.0-sd-11.11.depot
expat-1.95.8-sd-11.11.depot
gnuplot-4.0.0-sd-11.11.depot

I then run:

/opt/sarcheck/bin/analyze9000 -html -png /var/adm/sa/sar03 > /tmp/20050504.html

But it errors:

gnuplot> set terminal png color #default
^
"/tmp/cpuscript", line 1: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list


gnuplot> set terminal png color #default

"/tmp/inodescript", line 1: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list

gnuplot> set terminal png color #default
^
"/tmp/dkbusyscript", line 1: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list


When I go into gnuplot manually, and enter "set terminal" - there is NO png nor jpeg option.

Any ideas?

Are you sure the version of gnuplot is current/correct?

Did you check the pre-requisites of your pre-requisites.

I know, its worse than Linux rpm hell, but I've had that happen to me.

Looks like it is most recent version:

Going to try a version from sarcheck themselves:

Interesting - their version works - and is older:

This is gnuplot version 4.0. Please refer to the documentation
for command syntax changes. The old syntax will be accepted
throughout the 4.0 series, but all save files use the new syntax.

I ran into this problem last year and worked with the folks at Aptitune (SarCheck authors) to create the GnuPlot package on their site. I tried several workarounds to get the current version to work but I think it has something to do with the PNG file type and getting GnuPlot to understand additional file types.

[Geoff Wild]

Thanks Bill - I see your name on their site.

Would it be safe for me to swremove the depots I installed above? I don't like having software on the system unless I need it.

Yes. Originally, Aptitune bundled a pre-built GnuPlot with a special packaging program (RTR, not software distributor) and it took a bit to cleanup afterwards. The instructions tell how to put everything in /opt, but the open version scatters things in /usr/local without an uninstall procedure.

[Geoff Wild]

The GNUPlot from sarcheck (with help from Bill) fixed my issue.
