Okay, it looks like this might be the case.On 10/30/05, Ron Crummett <address@hidden> wrote: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 nothingI suspect that xcas installs gnuplot into /usr/local/bin and you are re-installing gnuplot to /usr/bin Just out of curiosity, is my .octaverc file supposed to be in my default directory (/home/me)? I didn't see one there but created one and it seems to load up when I start octave. I was just wondering if it is created by default or not.You can set variable gnuplot_binary (in .octaverc) to point to the unpatched gnuplot (/usr/bin/gnuplot). I.e. in the file .octaverc add the line: Okay, done. Now when I start up octave, here is what happens:gnuplot_binary="/usr/bin/gnuplot " gnuplot_binary = /usr/bin/gnuplot octave:1> x = 0:10; octave:2> plot(x); sh: line 1: /usr/bin/gnuplot : No such file or directory warning: in /usr/local/share/octave/2.9.3/m/plot/__plt__.m near line 181, column 3: warning: connection to external plotter (pid = 4408) lost -- warning: please try your plot command(s) again warning: broken pipe -- some output may be lost sh: line 1: /usr/bin/gnuplot : No such file or directory warning: broken pipe -- some output may be lost I'm not sure why this would happen, because I KNOW that /usr/bin/gnuplot is there. Do I need to possibly remove the /usr/local/bin/gnuplot, and if so, how do I do that? Thanks for the help! Oh, one more thing: Is everything I have in my .octaverc file going to appear on startup? Just wondering. -Ron -Ron CrummettDmitri. ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
