Plotting with batch mode

Dear Sam,

to help you we need to know:

1) which version of gnuplot do you have?
-- just type gnuplot and see the version

2) which exactly batch file did you run?

3) which operating system do you use?
uname -a

4)
type
"gnuplot"
then press
"enter"
to go to gnuplot shell
gnuplot>
and type
set terminal

Please let me know the output of this command

Thanks
Sasha

Dear Sasha

1)The version of gnuplot I'm using is 5.4.

2)I found this error came from all of the example batch files in the utile folder of CalcHEP. I've put "batch_file_3" specifically at the bottom of this message.

3)The operating system is Ubuntu: 5.4.0-53-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP

4)The following is outputted when I use the command "set terminal" in the gnuplot shell:

Dear Sasha

I managed to get gnuplot to compile with libgd and the plotting now works!

Thank you so much for helping to get this sorted.

Many thanks

Sam

Thanks Alexander Belyaev, that solved my question.

Dear Sam,

thanks for the confirmation,

I am glad this problem is solved. We did not see this problem before, so
it is important it is documented at launchpad!

Regards,

Sasha
