To install gnuplot-mode:

1. At the command line:

> configure

> make

If you use XEmacs, do "make EMACS=xemacs" (or change the EMACS

variable to "xemacs" in the Makefile, the run "make").

If "configure" doesn't work for you, the file "Makefile.dst" can be

used. In that case do, "make -f Makefile.dst".

2. Move the .elc files to a place where emacs can find them, for

example /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp or your personal emacs

directory.

3. Insert the contents of the `dotemacs' file into your .emacs file

or system start-up file to enable gnuplot mode.

4. The function `gnuplot-info-lookup-symbol' looks at the Gnuplot

info file that comes with this package or that can be made from

the Gnuplot distribution. For that function to work, the file

gnuplot.info must be placed somewhere where info can find it, for

example /usr/info. A line like this in your .emacs allows you to

put gnuplot.info any place convenient:

(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "/path/to/file")

The "configure; make" sequence may not work on all systems,

particularly Win32 systems. The long-winded way of making the .elc

gpelcard.ps files is to edit each of the .el files with emacs and do

`M-x byte-compile-file'. Then "latex gpelcard.tex" and

"dvips gpelcard.dvi".

You will need to follow the instructions contained in the file

Win9x/INSTALL.Win9x to get gnuplot working with Emacs on a Windows 95

or 98 machine.
