Octave and gnuplot

[joebanana]

Octave doesn't find gnuplot although I installed it and can run it. When I installed it in 7.10 it worked with no problems. Here is what I get in octave:


octave:5> plot(x,y)
Expected X11 driver: /usr/lib/gnuplot/gnuplot_x11
Exec failed: No such file or directory
See 'help x11' for more details
Expected X11 driver: /usr/lib/gnuplot/gnuplot_x11
Exec failed: No such file or directory
See 'help x11' for more details


Please help

Could somebody please just check if he has the same problem after installing octave and gnuplot.

I installed gnuplot followed by octave and suffered the exact same symptoms.

Has this been resolved yet?

sudo apt-get install gnuplot-x11 should do the trick...
