Package pgfplots Error: Sorry, the gnuplot-result file 'a.plot.table' could not be found. Maybe you need to enable the shell-escape feature? For pdflatex, this is '>> pdflatex -shell-escape'. You can also invoke '>> gnuplot <file>.gnuplot' manually on the respective gnuplot file.. See the pgfplots package documentation for explanation.

Emergency stop. ... l.9 ...plot[id=plot,raw gnuplot] function{plot x}; ! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! Transcript written on a.log. This means that pdflatex is indeed trying to run gnuplot, but shell-escape is not enabled. What version of texlive-pictures are you using and what version of gnuplot do you have installed?
