[Gnuplot-bugs] Broken demos

I'm new to gnuplot, so I wanted to view the demos.  Six of them failed to run due to errors.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 on intel x86, gnuplot seems to be 2.4.3-1 as packaged by Ubuntu.
The demos were downloaded from Sourceforge yesterday.

The failures occurred when I tried "gnuplot all.dem", in the following subdemos
  margins.dem
  random.dem
  binary.dem
  pm3d.dem
  datastrings.dem
  image.dem
In each case the demo had to be removed or commented out in order to continue the "all.dem" run, so these are "show-stoppers" of a sort.

... and if you had told us what those errors were, somebody might even
be able to help you fix that.

I'm quite sure you've got that version number wrong.

That's pointless --- you already have the demos for your version of
gnuplot.  They're (supposed to be) part of the package you installed.
