Hi,
please can you help me, I'm working under ubuntu 7. I installed the gnuplot but my problem is that when I want a plot I have nothing on the screen. So for example when I tape gnuplot> plot x**2, x**2+12*x*sin(sqrt(x))  I haven't the plot:( .is it due to installation ? do I have any missing package?
could you help me please?

how did you install gnuplot?
if you used a package manager then there should be no missing packages.

when gnuplot starts there a several messages, could you post them here?
the last message tells which terminal is used, which one is it?

an 'unknown' terminal is invisible...
you should 'set terminal' to something reasonable.

a list of available terminals you will get with
set terminal


this is what I have
yosra@yosra-desktop:~/Bureau/gnuplot-3.7.3$ ./gnuplot
