Hi,
I'm trying to install gnuplot on a Centos box. I tried installing via
compilation and have run into a couple of issues.
Compilation failed because of no numeric python package. So I thought,
that is easy - downloaded that and tried the install. It complained
about BLAS and LAPACK libs.
I realize this is / was / will be a religious argument, but I'm having
trouble with this distribution of Centos on my computer. I was
wondering if there was a distro more up to date and was suited for
scientific calculations.
I'm familiar with FC6, due to a myth install (thanks Jarod, Ben et al)

gnuplot is available for fedora8 as a package. I'm pretty cautious
about using the outside repositories, so I assume it came from the
