[...] I tried following this instruction: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Gnuplot#Unix_or_Mac
But then I got: --------------------- $ ./prepare
./prepare: 47: aclocal: not found
Some part of the preparation process failed. Please refer to INSTALL for details. ---------------------
And in "INSTALL" and "INSTALL.gnu" the first step is to do $ ./configure but I only have a configure.in and configure.vms -file. I'm quite confused.
Most likely you are missing some of the "build" tools. Look
for a package called "build-essential". You may need to add
some -dev packages for various libraries needed by gnuplot.
You might check the dependencies for debian gnuplot and
make sure you have the -dev versions of all the libraries.
