Re: Plot print problem

[Jonathan Webster]

Hello,
Thanks.  The suggestion to go to gnuplot-4.2 was well taken. The
remaining guestion I fear is more about Linux than octave, but maybe
someone has been here/

In trying to do a local update to gnuplot 4.2, yum complains it cannot
find libc.so.6. But ldconfig -p does find ibc.so.6.,  even an x86_64
version. (see below)

I took out some lines below; hopefully not the important ones.

Any thoughts??
Be well,
Jonathan
