octave+gnuplot on pc-linux console

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Paul,

That cannot work as on the console: either program wants to "own" the
pseudo-terminal, but they cannot own it both at the same time. More detailed
discussions of this will be in the archives of this list.

A somewhat cumbersome workaround is to have Octave write the data to a temp
file, and to manually plot it in Gnuplot on another pseudo-terminal.

Regards, Dirk
