I then jumped to the *gnuplot* buffer where I saw the following. , | gnuplot data = /tmp/babel-4592fc8/gnuplot-4592Pna | gnuplot set term eps | ^ | unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list | | gnuplot set output output.eps | gnuplot set title test | gnuplot set auto x | gnuplot set style data histogram | gnuplot set style fill solid border -1 | gnuplot set boxwidth 0.9 | gnuplot plot data using 1:2 | ^ | use 'set term' to set terminal type first | | gnuplot ` so if your gnuplot is like my gnuplot then eps is not a known terminal type. I'd suggest trying the following. Also, notice that I changed your plot line -- histograms are not intuitive in gnuplot. #+tblname: gnuplot-testing | x | y | |---+| | 1 | 2 | | 2 | 4 | | 3 | 6 | | 4 | 8 | | 5 | 10 | | 6 | 12 | | 7 | 14 | | 8 | 16 | #+begin_src gnuplot :var data=gnuplot-testing :file output.eps :exports both set term postscript set title test set auto x set style data histogram set style fill solid border -1 set boxwidth 0.9 plot data using 2:xtic(1) #+end_src Cheers -- Eric -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/
