[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50479] build fails on osmesa print

[Michael Godfrey]

Follow-up Comment #20, bug #50479 (project octave):

Dimitri,

OK. Here is what I get:

octave:1> randn("state",1);
octave:2> hist(randn (10000,1),30)
octave:3> graphics_toolkit
ans = fltk
octave:4> print histxx.pdf
octave:5> graphics_toolkit
ans = fltk
=========================
The displayed plot is OK.
The result of print histxx.pdf shows the diagonal
lines.

So, it appears that the build uses gnuplot at least
for some of the plots (some fail with gnuplot).

It was not a good idea to make the build dependent on gnuplot.
It would be really useful if this could be cleaned up.
But, of course, plotting has always been a major problem area.
