In wxmaxima-0.7.2 ("~x86") when I try to use inline plotting I get an error. I think this is a dependency issue -- probably something small is missing on my gentoo, but I don't know what. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run wxmaxima 2. wxplot2d([sin(x)], [x,-5,5]) Actual Results: It says Output file "/home/andu/maxout.png" and I see a bounding box with a word "Error" in it. Expected Results: I think there should be a picture in the bounding box. My only guess was to check whether my gnuplot can generate png files - it can.
Post ebuild version, emerge --info and the actual error you get, someone might even help them; until them, your guess is as good as ours.
I've found the solution for my problem: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1677672&group_id=126731&atid=707628 It is either possible to solve my problem by changing the default settings of wxmaxima or by upgrading to gnuplot-4.2 with gd support.
