Volker,

I found exactly the same problem with gnuplot and Cygwin. I could produce a version from source that worked independently under Cygwin. Similarly, I could make the Windows version to go but getting pgnuplot to talk to wgnuplot was something that, in the short time I had, I was unable to crack. There is something unsatisfactory about the install notes, where Cygwin is concerned; Linux and Windows were no trouble at all.

Downloading the binary for Windows 32 (gp373w32.zip from any of the gnuplot sites) did the job. Unzip the contents to a suitable directory, make sure that your path points to it and.... you should be home and dry.

Hello,

I've just tried to install cygwin/octave according to John's hints on

_ftp://ftp.octave.org/pub/octave/README.Windows_

I followed the steps 1 - 11, 17 (installing the binary package)

After starting octave I've got this error:

What is the problem? gnuplot is installed but there is no pgnuplot
anywhere in the whole cygwin installation.
