Subject:

Installed correctly, but does not work

Debian Etch, perl 5.8.8, Chart::Gnuplot installed without any troubles through CPAN shell. Just exists (no file created, no messages displayed) when I try to run example: use strict; use Chart::Gnuplot; my $chart = Chart::Gnuplot->new( output => "expression.png" ); my $dataSet = Chart::Gnuplot::DataSet->new( func => "sin(x)" ); $chart->plot2d($dataSet); Could not find how to debug this in a straight way.

I mean, exits.

Please try to output it in postscript format first: my $chart = Chart::Gnuplot->new( output => "expression.ps" ); If you still cannot get "expression.ps", please check (1) whether you can write in the temporary directory ($TMP or $TEMP or "/tmp"). (2) the version of gnuplot (use command "gnuplot --version"). Version 4.2.0 or higher is recommended. If you get "expression.ps", please check whether ImageMagick (esp. the "convert" command) is installed. If it is not yet installed, you may either install it (recommended) or specify the gnuplot terminal, e.g. my $chart = Chart::Gnuplot->new( terminal => "png", output => "expression.png" ); Regards, Ka-Wai
