Re: Installing gstat on Unix with gnuplot & gd

["Edzer J. Pebesma" <e.pebesma@geog.uu.nl>]

Dear Lynn,

your questions seem to be more related to unix than to
gstat, but I can give it a shot.

gstat not finding gnuplot -- gstat uses simply popen(3) for
communicating to gnuplot, I don't know how much your popen()
knows about PATH's but it should find gnuplot if it is in
the path (along with gnuplot_x11). 

A workaround would be to set the command

set gnuplot = '/full/path/to/gnuplot';

in your $HOME/.gstatrc

(still, finding gnuplot_x11 may then be the next problem)

About gd -- configure should auto-detect a well installed
libgd + headers. If you installed it later, remove config.cache
and run configure again. Alternatively, put libgd.a in the lib
directory of the gstat distr. and put the headers in the include
directory, and run

configure --with-gd

Hope this helps,
