I installed it using apt-get, i.e.
sudo apt-get install gnuplot
- about 4 weeks ago, so I ought to have the latest v ersion (?).

I get this:

~> gnuplot

        G N U P L O T
        Version 4.6 patchlevel 4    last modified 2013-10-02

        gnuplot home:     http://www.gnuplot.info
        faq, bugs, etc:   type "help FAQ"
        immediate help:   type "help"  (plot window: hit 'h')

Terminal type set to 'unknown'

OK, I see it's version 4.6. How do I tell apt-get to go and get
the latest?
