Howto: Installing Qtiplot 0.8.9 in Feisty

[fjf]

I found out after some searching here, finding several posts about this. There is no need for compiling the source code or going to look for dependencies. Just edit you sources.list file (sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list) and add the following lines to the text:

deb http://195.198.146.229/debian/ i386/
deb-src http://195.198.146.229/debian/ source/
deb http://debian.physik.hu-berlin.de/addons sarge /
deb-src http://debian.physik.hu-berlin.de/addons sarge /


Then you can just install it using synaptic.

Enjoy!

Thanks, going to try that out ASAP. I have been messing around with Rlplot but willing to try something different.

Edit: works like a charm!

Thanks for the tip. I had a play with it and it looks like a good free replacement for matlab as far as basic graphics go. It actually seems nicer than matlab as it doesn't have all that java garbage and lousy fonts. Very nice program!

any chance this will work on 64bit?

Yes it does I am using it.

Installed perfectly - thanks for that. However, I am not able to get it to use python as a scripting language.
As per the instructions, you need SIP and pyQT, but there is a conflict between the versions that are required and the qt already in Ubuntu Feisty. If anyone has this working, please let us know how to set it up.

i have installed it in my lappy. but whenever i try to type something it closes unexpectedly (simply said crash). Any reason why?

[fjf]

I cannot help, sorry. This is a very basic plotting software (nothing to do with i.e. sigmaplot), but it gets the job done with simple graphs.

If you are using fesity download the latest version which is built with python 2.5. If not don't bother nothing beyond .89 will run even if the deb installs. Wouldn't call it basic though. Handles any custom model I throw at it, which is more than origin will.....

[raja]

I accept that - it is a very powerful program. But to bring up my previous question, in the scripting language menu, are you able to enable python to be used? It would be great if I can use python to script this.

By the way: Qtiplot 0.9-rc2 is in Debian unstable now. Installing it from the Debian repos, it runs smoothly on my Feisty AMD64.
Unfortunately, it is not imported into Gutsy yet, I hope that will happen soon, maybe they'll even do a backport to Feisty?

[in_flu_ence]

have you used the 0.9 version? Is it stable and do not crash? I think i remember I had some issue with that earlier on. Also in Feisty AMD64.

[unixguru]

Version .9 is slated to be released in a few weeks. It would be nice if it is added to the repos for gusty

[in_flu_ence]

It seems to have some dependency problem when i try to install version .9 via synaptic. eg. libgcc1,...

Qtiplot 0.9-rc2 is in Gutsy. I don't think a backport can be done because the app has to exist in Feisty and qtiplot has just entered Ubuntu with Gutsy.
