Ideas? Install gnuplot before maxima, so you can see why it goes wrong.=20 Use an empty make.conf in case you run into weird compilation problems. The default build of gnuplot is quite heavy, pulling in wxwidgets and teTeX. Personally, I would recommend the following settings: enable X11, GD, gridb= ox, thinsplines and cairo, and disable the rest; pdflib didn't work last time I tried it. WXwidgets is overkill IMO, the standard X11 support works fine. A= nd teTeX is deprecated upstream in favor of TeXLive. I've been using gnuplot like this without problems for years, on i386 and a= md64. Hope this helps.
