Re: plplot

[courtois]

I  have :
  whitespace_in_literal_matrix = "traditional"

... I think the problem is elsewhere...

I installed the 
plplot-990122-1.i386.rpm

but it has nothing to do with octave...

so I tried to install 
PLplot_octave-0.3.1.tar.gz

which contains a .cc to be compiled in .oct + all the related m files.

I could easily mv the PLplot dir to the
/usr/local/share/octave/2.0.16/m/ dir and change the path is use_plot
and octave_plplot_path to this one...

but

To compile the .cc in .oct I couldn't use the options -lX11 and -lsocket
...
The make file doesn't work
There is a line missing in use_plot.m : load_path=[];

At the end, octave still uses gnuplot !

I spent a lot of time still for nothing !
