I am trying installing gnuplot 5.2 on a Xubuntu 16.04 LTS amd64 machine.
Yesterday I successfully completed the task on another machine.
Today I followed the same protocol: installing some libraries for cairo, pango and libgd.
I then typed:
./configure --with-cairo --with-gd
make
make check
sudo make install
The installation failed. First make check did not provide the set of checking images and gnuplot command exit with the following error:
gnuplot: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It tried installing libwx_gtk2u but the repositories install 3.0 version and the error still persists.
However ldd /usr/bin/gnuplot output the following line
libwx_gtk2u_core-3.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwx_gtk2u_core-3.0.so.0
ldd do not output any line containing libwc_gtk2u_core-2.8
I am assuming some package (libwx2.8?) or some link is missed. Any hint?
Install libwxbase2.8-dev and libwxgtk2.8-dev.
