I want to install nist dataplot on a squeeze i686 computer running X. I haven't found any precompiled package by Googling and have started trying to compile from source.
First, maybe I don't need to compile from source --- Is there a package for this in Debian? What is the package name? But if there isn't, I need help translating instruction from NIST into script settings that give Debian gfortran accurate information about my software libraries. The libraries that they need me to give settings for are called GD, LIBPLOT, or READLINE I think I have readline (lowercase) which I think might satisfy the READLINE need. But I don't understand what GD or LIBPLOT are in the Debian package naming convention. Also apparently I can set either yes or not for each and I don't understand the implications of not having one or more of them. I am running X11 and would like to have the full GUI experience. Are these three alternatives, only one of which is needed? Or what? I have never seen dataplot run, so I don't know what to expect when I've gotten it compiled and installed correctly. I think I need help in formulating intelligent questions about this. TIA -- Paul E Condon [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
