Then I tried to use it but I could not. The first problem was that when I visit any *.gp file I get the following eror in Emacs-21: ---- Loading gnuplot...done gnuplot-mode 0.6.0 -- determining gnuplot version ...... File mode specification error: (file-error "Searching for program" "success" "") Fontifying Doming.gp... (regexps............) File mode specification error: (file-error "Searching for program" "success" "") ---- I get the same ``File mode specification error'' when I use C-c C-b, which tries to send the current buffer to gnuplot. First, I googled the web for the first problem, but I could not get any useful hits. The second problem was that the the completions for keywords did not work. I found out that this was related to the info file not being installed. To solve this problem, I tried to read the website of gnuplot mode (http:/ feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/gnuplot-mode/) carefully. Finally I managed to put the gnuplot.info file in to /usr/info/emacs-21/ as gnuplot.gz and then edited the file /usr/info/dir to include the menu entry for gnuplot. Finally I got the info working properly (I tried to official way of using install-info, but I got the error: ---- No `START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY' and no `This file documents'. install-info(/usr/info/emacs-21/gnuplot.gz): unable to determine description for `dir' entry - giving up ---- so I had to do it manually). Now the keyword completions do work, but I still cannot get gnuplot load my *.gp files. >>From the console gnuplot works just fine. So, can you please help me with this ``first'' problem of mine? Thanks a lot for your time. FCC -- Try to value useful qualities in one who loves you.
