Gnuplot seems to be dead in this compilation. I installed the new version of it to the C:\maxima-5.46.0 folder. Changed it's name to gnuplot and now things seem to work
Thanks for the report. Very strange; I tried now (again) the latest Maxima release, which you were using, with the included Gnuplot on Windows 11 (all updates installed), but it did work for me without problems.
Did the included Gnuplot - when called directly ( e.g. gnuplot or wgnuplot in C:\maxima-5.46.0\gnuplot\bin
) - itself work?
Best regards, Wolfgang (I build the Maxima (and wxMaxima) Windows installer).
They neither worked. Gnuplot gave the above message and then exited. Wgnuplot flashed a window for a while then exited.
Gnuplot version 5.4.(6) works fine.
Cheers, Thomas
I updated Gnuplot now in the Maxima installer; the next (64bit) release and the upcoming nightly builds will use Gnuplot 5.4.6. (see: https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/code/ci/b7477363).
See Gnuplot bug https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/2227/ - according to the related bug report https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/2304/ the issue was fixed in Gnuplot 5.4.2.
So I'm getting errors trying to do simple plots:
