[Xenia]

Hi list,

I'm having some problems with gnuplot.
I installed it as an extra module (means I guess, it is already
installed via --modules="all").

Now, I want to use it directly in my ConTeXt-document, without
compiling/preprocessing it first.

In the gnuplot documentation I just found, how to create a pdf-document
(nothing about implementation in context).

I tried the minimal example from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Gnuplot ,
but I recieve just a .plt-file.

I hope some of you do also use gnuplot and can help me easily.

Thanks.

Dear Xenia,

1.) What operating system are you using?
2.) Did you compile gnuplot from https://github.com/mojca/gnuplot or
did you use the default gnuplot as shipped with your system? (I should
check again, but there is some slight chance that it also works with
TikZ terminal; however I doubt that the latest version of TikZ
terminal has been released, so that might not necessary help you.)
3.) You need to make sure that if you run gnuplot, selecting
    set term context
works. After then you could also check if
    gnuplot your-document-gnuplot-1.plt
will generate a tex file.

I suspect that your gnuplot doesn't know about ConTeXt terminal. In
that case you may complain to the gnuplot mailing list :) :) :)

I tried following this instruction:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Gnuplot#Unix_or_Mac

But then I got:
---------------------
$ ./prepare

./prepare: 47: aclocal: not found

Some part of the preparation process failed.
Please refer to INSTALL for details.
---------------------

And in "INSTALL" and "INSTALL.gnu" the first step is to do
$ ./configure
but I only have a configure.in and configure.vms -file.
I'm quite confused.
So I installed it from the debian-repositories (for sure without any
context-implementation), but you could just tell me, how I can make your
version work. :-)

You're right and I did. :-)

Thanks

Most likely you are missing some of the "build" tools.   Look
for a package called "build-essential".  You may need to add
some -dev packages for various libraries needed by gnuplot.
You might check the dependencies for debian gnuplot and
make sure you have the -dev versions of all the libraries.

I guess that a package "autotools/autoconf" or something similar is missing.

Tried this and it actually seems to work. Thanks for the pointer.
