CentOS gunplot安裝

CentOS is a really fine platform for professional Linux servers which is - among others - characterized by stable software releases. However, especially in a research environment every once in a while you need a recent version of a software. CentOS ships with Gnuplot 4.0.0 but I need Gnuplot >=4.4. In case others need this, too, here are my compile instructions:

# make sure your system is uptodateyum clean allyum check-updateyum update# based on a minimal installation, you need some packages in order to compile, I suggestyum install gcc gcc-c++ make libX11 xauthyum install cairo-devel pango-devel freetype-devel gd-develcd /usr/local/src/wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/4.4.2/gnuplot-4.4.2.tar.gz/downloadtar xzf gnuplot-4.4.2.tar.gz cd gnuplot-4.4.2less INSTALL# start compiling. I usually install self-compiled stuff at /opt/[PKG-NAME]./configure --prefix=/opt/gnuplot442make# make sure the shipped version of gnuplot is removed (this is probably not necessary but prevents version mix-up)yum remove gnuplotmake install# you might want to add a symlinkln -s /opt/gnuplot442/bin/gnuplot /usr/bin/gnuplot
