If the problem is due to libedit, then qgfe may be providing a way to bypass whatever is going wrong. It seems odd to me that the mouse zoom issue would be associated with libedit, since that's for the text history and line editing. > I also tried your suggestion of rebuilding gnuplot, but there is no > improvement. > At some point i got the following > warning: > aclocal.m4:16: warning: this file was generated for autoconf 2.61. > You have another version of autoconf.

Neither fixed the zooming issue. I'm forwarding this onto the Fink developer list, because I really don't know what's causing the issue, nor how to fix it. One option we have would be to see if gnuplot's bundled "minimal readline" works (we can't use Fink's GNU readline because gnuplot's license is not GPL-compatible). At least going through qgfe works... > > On Jan 29, 2009, at 8:21 AM, Alexander Hansen wrote: > >> Luis Benet wrote: >>> Dear Alexander, >>> >>> I recently updated to 10.5.6, X11 (Xquartz 2.3.2) and also updated the >>> programs i have installed with fink.
