Well, you have to install the necessary development packages before compiling to get additional terminal like png, *cairo, etc. If you don't want to do that (it's not very hard, and doesn't influence any software already running on your system): Debian backports (i.e. also ubuntu) have newer versions of gnuplot available. I guess other distributions have a similar system. You can install the backports version along with the original one, you start it with e.g. "gnuplot5" on the command line. Karl
