Re: Install 2.9.3 - problems with gnuplot

[Ron Crummett]

It looks as though what happened is that I installed xcas on my machine, 
which automatically added a patch to gnuplot.  I am in the process of 
figuring out what step to take now:

-removing and reinstalling gnuplot does nothing
-I think if I could remove xcas (I abandoned it for Maxima a while ago) 
would help, but I don't know how to remove programs.  (I installed it by 
typing tar xvfz ~/xcas_root.tgz ; ldconfig
if anyone can point me in the right uninstall direction - I'm still 
somewhat new to Linux too.)

Thanks!
