So, .info has nothing to do with help pages and .patch has nothing to do with optional patches downloaded from the gp homepage. > What I've done for gnuplot is to create local info and patch files to enable > gnuplot's deverlopers sources to be built and installed in the same way Fink > handles other packages. Do you think that it would work for the current CVS version if I just use a copy of your info and patch files? I got another hint from comp.graphic.apps.gnuplot: The libgd consists of the lib files themselves and so-called header files (*devel) that contain some function definitions or so, and are only needed for the build process. They say I wouln't have to re-install the libraries but only the header files. For some reason the *devel-files are no longer visible in /sw/lib. Unfortunately they seem to expect that everyone already knows everything about how to do all this. Do you know how I could get these header files and whether this may finally make Gnuplot use the libs? The way you suggested seems a bit too dirty for me since Gnuplot is nestled within the Fink tree and not in a local folder. Still I am wondering what makes the difference between Tiger and Leopard that GP works fine on the former but only without the libs on the latter.
