Plot Problem Again

[Michael Riedl]

Hi there!

Thanks for your hints! But I didn't manage to get it working.
Gnuplot works standalone in an xterm:

address@hidden:~> gnuplot
svgalib: Configuration file /usr/local/lib/libvga.config not found.
svgalib: Assuming Microsoft mouse.
svgalib: Assuming low end SVGA/8514 monitor (35.5 KHz).
Using VGA driver.

Terminal type set to 'x11'
gnuplot> plot exp(x)

brings up the window with the graph.

But

address@hidden:~> octave

octave:1> x=[-10:1:10]'; y=sin(x);
octave:2> plot(x,y);
svgalib: Configuration file /usr/local/lib/libvga.config not found.
svgalib: Assuming Microsoft mouse.
svgalib: Assuming low end SVGA/8514 monitor (35.5 KHz).
Using VGA driver.
octave:3> 

And nothing else happens, no window opens.

I don't need this svga stuff as I always run the X Window System.

Should I compile gnuplot myself (where is the source)? 

Please help! Thanks in advance!
