在 ubuntu 9.10 安裝 gretl 1.9.3x - 有關 gnuplot 的問題

如果覺得自行 compile 麻煩的話， 不妨試試 ［在 ubuntu 10.04 安裝 gretl 1.9.3x - 有關 gnuplot 的問題］ 這一篇的方法

gretl 網站的原始方法
這個步驟是成功的： see Install Gnuplot 4.4.0 on Ubuntu Linux
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev libpango1.0-dev libreadline5-dev libx11-dev libxt-dev texinfo libgd2-xpm-dev

Then we download and compile gnuplot (run each command/line in a terminal)

• wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/4.4.0/gnuplot-4.4.0.tar.gz/download
• tar xzf gnuplot-4.4.0.tar.gz
• mkdir build && cd build
• ../gnuplot-4.4.0/configure --with-readline=gnu
• make
• sudo make install

Compile 後, gnuplot 的子目錄位置是：
/usr/local/bin/gnuplot


用 gnuplot for gretl 的方法， 但是有錯誤（在執行 gretl 時）：
/opt/gnuplot/bin/gnuplot: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14' not found (required by /opt/gnuplot/bin/gnuplot)


另外有成功地 compile gnuplot, 在安裝以下的 packages 之後 (參見):
sudo apt-get install automake checkinstall libwxgtk2.8-dev libpango1.0-dev libreadline5-dev libx11-dev libxt-dev texinfo libgd2-xpm-dev  liblua5.1-dev

另見 gnuplot 4.4.2@sourceforge

再執行：

./prepare
./configure --with-readline=gnu --with-lua

Build from source

Note that for this to succeed you will need to have the "devel" packages for GTK+ and Xorg installed.

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@gnuplot.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gnuplot
 cvs login
 cvs -z3 checkout gnuplot

Just hit Enter when asked for a password. Then

sh ./prepare
 ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnuplot
 make
 sudo make install

The choice of installing to /opt/gnuplot is designed to avoid collisions with gnuplot as installed by your Linux distro.

Packaged binary

If you would prefer to try a pre-built binary, use the following commands to download and install the package.

cd /tmp
 wget http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gnuplot-4.5-i586-3.tar.gz
 cd / 
 sudo tar xvfz /tmp/gnuplot-4.5-i586-3.tar.gz
 rm /tmp/gnuplot-4.5-i586-3.tar.gz

Note that this package installs into /opt/gnuplot.

Using the new gnuplot

In gretl, go to Tools/Preferences/General/Programs and change the "gnuplot" entry to read

/opt/gnuplot/bin/gnuplot
