I think it's a bug in the gnuplot package. It should install its gnuplot.cfg file into /sw/etc/texmf.local instead of /sw/share/texmf-local. A line like in the jadetex InstallScript mv %i/share/texmf-local %i/etc/texmf.local would do the trick. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
