Hello,

please excuse a greater delay in replying. I hoped time would resolve  
things for me… - but it didnt.

So I tried compiling gnuplot 4.3 from the CVS again. The gnuplot  
website provides a script which is supposed to do the job:

http://www.gnuplot.info/development/sample_osx_installation.html

I tried this script on a Tiger 10.4.11 PPC with macports 1.8.1  
installed, and get the following output messages:

There comes the line
"You need automake newer 1.8 (fink helps)!!"

AFAIK macports does only provide automake 1.1 and 1.7 - do I have to  
bother?

Allthough the issue a bit off-topic - anybody who's willing to have a  
brief look on the file and tell me what's going wrong will be very  
wellcome.

Greetings,

Wolf
