solved!

gnuplot is up and running. it was necessary to install it from source though, the binaries don't work because libpdf doesn't get installed. i did the sourc-install with fink-commander.

How do i do that on the cl?

thanks for your support.

That may indeed be easier.  It should go smoothly.

The version that i can install with dselect or apt-get doesn't run on macos 10.3. It launches but the quits immidiately due to some problems with readlinelib. So the real problem is that when i install gnuplot i get an old version of readlinelib .

Here is what happens when i run the following command:
sudo apt-get install gnuplot
...
Unpacking gnuplot (from .../gnuplot_3.8h.0-7_darwin-powerpc.deb) ...

This version only runs on OSX 10.1. Since you are on 10.3, you need to go two generations forward in your Fink distribution. In this case, I would strongly advise not to try an update, but to reinstall Fink-0.6.2 from scratch.


When i search for the gnuplot at the fink-webpage i see that the gnuplot-packkage i'm getting comes from an tree 0.4.1.

Yes, and it says "10.1 only".


Since there is also a tree called 10.3-current. i believe my fink install needs an update. so i ran fink selfupdate in the terminal. that exited with errors:

In principle, the selfupdate should work, but there are so many things that can go wrong, and in any case, at least 95% of everything you have in your Fink installation now will have to be replaced by a newer version, so it is more economic to start from zero with a new installation. Don't forget to run selfupdate immediately after having run the 0.6.2 installer. Then the installation of gnuplot from binary should work (version 3.8i.0-16).
