Hi list, I'm having some problems with gnuplot. I installed it as an extra module (means I guess, it is already installed via --modules="all"). Now, I want to use it directly in my ConTeXt-document, without compiling/preprocessing it first. In the gnuplot documentation I just found, how to create a pdf-document (nothing about implementation in context). I tried the minimal example from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Gnuplot , but I recieve just a .plt-file. I hope some of you do also use gnuplot and can help me easily. Thanks.

Dear Xenia, 1.) What operating system are you using? 2.) Did you compile gnuplot from https://github.com/mojca/gnuplot or did you use the default gnuplot as shipped with your system? (I should check again, but there is some slight chance that it also works with TikZ terminal; however I doubt that the latest version of TikZ terminal has been released, so that might not necessary help you.) 3.) You need to make sure that if you run gnuplot, selecting set term context works. After then you could also check if gnuplot your-document-gnuplot-1.plt will generate a tex file. I suspect that your gnuplot doesn't know about ConTeXt terminal. In that case you may complain to the gnuplot mailing list :) :) :) Mojca

Dear Xenia,
1.) What operating system are you using?
debian-wheezy (testing)
2.) Did you compile gnuplot from https://github.com/mojca/gnuplot or did you use the default gnuplot as shipped with your system?

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. So I installed it from the debian-repositories (for sure without any context-implementation), but you could just tell me, how I can make your version work. :-)
3.) You need to make sure that if you run gnuplot, selecting set term context works. After then you could also check if gnuplot your-document-gnuplot-1.plt will generate a tex file.

You're right and I did. :-) Thanks Xenia

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.
