I work on the linux server and i dont have root password. Is it possible to install on my home directory? Could you please tell me how? > Many thanks. Yes that's possible, you can specify the install directory when using configure: ./configure --prefix=$HOME --program-suffix=-4.6.0 make make install The prefix specifies the path in which gnuplot is installed. With "--prefix=$HOME" the executable file will be in $HOME/bin, so you could add this to your $PATH. Some distributions do this as default, type "echo $PATH" to check this. If $HOME/bin is not in your PATH, add "PATH="$HOME/bin":$PATH to your .bashrc. Note: Some people like to use an extra directory like $HOME/usr to keep things clean. The "program-suffix" is appended to the bin file. If you use "-4.6.0" as a suffix, the executable file is named "gnuplot-4.6.0". So you can still call the normal gnuplot with the command "gnuplot". For more information use ./configure --help
