Hi list, I don't think this is the right place to post this to but I couldn't find any bug tracker for SL. Please read through the following report and point me to the right direction. I have recently installed the gnuplot42 package from a mirrored sl5 repository but am having a problem using it. The problem is probably something the packager of this rpm has overlooked. In specific this is the error when running a simple gnuplot script. === user@host:~> which gnuplot42 /usr/bin/gnuplot42 user@host:~> gnuplot42 -persist scripts/some_script.gplt Could not find/open font when opening font "arial", using internal non-scalable font Expected X11 driver: /usr/libexec/gnuplot42/4.2/gnuplot_x11 Exec failed: No such file or directory See 'help x11' for more details === The warning regarding the font does not concern me. The error is that the expected file (X11 driver) cannot be found. This error also occurs in interactive mode. The rpms that have been installed are: == user@host:~> rpm -qa | grep gnuplot42 gnuplot42-4.2.6-5.el5 gnuplot42-doc-4.2.6-5.el5 === (both in x86_64 arch). This is the list of the included (within the rpm) files: === user@host:~> rpm -ql gnuplot42 /usr/bin/gnuplot42 /usr/libexec/gnuplot42 /usr/libexec/gnuplot42/4.2 /usr/libexec/gnuplot42/4.2/gnuplot_x1142 /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/Gnuplot42 /usr/share/doc/gnuplot42-4.2.6 /usr/share/doc/gnuplot42-4.2.6/BUGS /usr/share/doc/gnuplot42-4.2.6/ChangeLog /usr/share/doc/gnuplot42-4.2.6/Copyright /usr/share/doc/gnuplot42-4.2.6/FAQ /usr/share/doc/gnuplot42-4.2.6/NEWS /usr/share/doc/gnuplot42-4.2.6/README /usr/share/doc/gnuplot42-4.2.6/TODO /usr/share/gnuplot42 /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2 /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/PostScript /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/PostScript/8859-1.ps /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/PostScript/8859-15.ps /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/PostScript/8859-2.ps /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/PostScript/cp1250.ps /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/PostScript/cp437.ps /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/PostScript/cp850.ps /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/PostScript/cp852.ps /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/PostScript/koi8r.ps /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/PostScript/koi8u.ps /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/PostScript/prologue.ps /usr/share/gnuplot42/4.2/gnuplot.gih /usr/share/info/gnuplot42.info.gz /usr/share/man/man1/gnuplot42.1.gz === I can overcome the problem by simply copying the /usr/libexec/gnuplot42/4.2/gnuplot_x1142 file to /usr/libexec/gnuplot42/4.2/gnuplot_x11. Creating a symbolic link also works. Please feel free to ask for further information or to point me to an appropriate support unit as mentioned earlier. Thank you for your assistance.
