It finally appears that this comes from my GNUTERM environment variable (unfortunately gnuplot doesn't have a verbose or debug mode to diagnose such problems). So the problem is that gnuplot doesn't ignore the GNUTERM environment variable if it contains an unsupported terminal. However it seems that one can detect that dynamically with "gnuplot < /dev/null" (useful when one uses several machines and some of them still support wxt). Perhaps it should fallback to the default terminal. Alternatively, in order to make configuration easier, I suggest that it should be possible to provide a list of terminals, separated by ":"; the first supported one should be chosen. And gnuplot should fallback to the default terminal instead of failing iff the list ends with ":". -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- debian-science-maintainers mailing list debian-science-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-science-maintainers
