"Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime."

1. download and install "compile-3.3.5.uci" from:
< http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....3.5.uci >

2. download and unpack "gnuplot-4.2.4.tar.gz" from:
< http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gnuplot....irror=0 >

3. open a terminal(xshell) as root and navigate to the gnuplot-4.2.4 directory you obtained after step 2.
(in my case the command was: cd /mnt/hda1/downloads/gnuplot-4.2.4)

4. Type: export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/compile-3.3.5/include

5. Type: ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnuplot-4.2.4

6. After text stops scrolling and the command prompt returns type: make

7. When the command prompt returns type: make install

8. After "make install" has finished you should find a gnuplot-4.2.4 sub-directory in /opt.

9. Open a terminal and type /opt/gnuplot-4.2.4/bin/gnuplot

10. Enjoy your self-compiled program.

Good Luck,

Nym1
