Thanks a lot for the useful tip (even if not 100% universal, it still worked with a slight modification at the end). This time it failed because of missing gs (I have it in /usr/local/bin/gs). (I guess that there is no direct gnuplot-gs dependency since TeX itself "depends" on gs). Again, gs is only needed to build the documentation of gnuplot, not for gnuplot itself. epstopdf eg7.eps sh: line 1: gs: command not found make: *** [eg7.pdf] Broken pipe After adding /usr/local/bin/ to the texlive.sh it worked, but I'm also not sure that every TeX Live has the binaries in /usr/texbin (I have gwTeX, but at least MacTeX and TeX Live "proper" exist in addition to it). TeX Live can in theory exist anywhere (but maybe it has some preferred location). gwTeX and MacTeX are both TeX Live-based presumably-more-user-friendly distributions. MacTeX might be the most popular one. (only guessing) Mojca ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
