Hi, Attached is an ebuild for kpl-3.2. kpl is a flexible KDE plotting program that handles data sets and mathematical functions. The functions work by loading an external library, so the user can create a library with any desired function. See the URL and the tutorial linked from it for more info. kpl also supports nonlinear curve fitting of data sets, as well as multiple plots per page. I find it more intuitive than both (xm)grace and gnuplot. I figured a good place in the portage tree would be media-gfx since that is where gnuplot is found. However, since it has more scientific features, maybe app-sci would be a good place. As far as I know, there are no dependencies besides KDE 3.x. A patch does exist to make it work with KDE 2.x, but I wasn't sure how to make it determine whether it needed the patch or not. Thanks, Adam

Thanks for the ebuild, it has taken a while but I have added this to portage now. You should only ever mark new ebuilds ~x86 etc, so I corrected this but otherwise the ebuild seems to work perfectly.
Hi, I did build this ebuild and did some basic testing on ppc. It worked quite well. A ppc or ~ppc keyword should be added. I did: emerge -v /usr/portage/media-gfx/kpl/kpl-3.2.ebuild Portage complained of course but everything went smoothly. emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/ppc/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 ppc) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 ppc 7450, altivec supported Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.90.0.3-r5 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=7450 -pipe -maltivec -mabi=altivec -mpowerpc-gfxopt -fsigned-char -frename-registers -fweb -fno-strict-aliasing" CHOST="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=7450 -pipe -maltivec -mabi=altivec -mpowerpc-gfxopt -fsigned-char -frename-registers -fweb -fno-strict-aliasing" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.vic.keypoint.com.au http://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo ftp://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://mirror.tucdemonic.org/gentoo/" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.au.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="ppc X a52 aac aalib alsa altivec arts berkdb bitmap-fonts cddb cdf cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode esd f77 fam fbcon ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm ggi gif gpm graphviz gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal ieee1394 imagemagick imlib imlib2 ipv6 java jbig jpeg jpeg2k kde kdexdeltas lcms libwww live lzo mad mikmod mjpeg motif mp3 mpeg ncurses netcdf network nls nptl ogg oggvorbis openexr opengl oss pam pdflib perl plotutils png ppds python qt rdesktop readline samba sdl slang slp spell ssl szip tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis wmf xine xml xml2 xmms xprint xv xvid zeroconf zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
