Some software doesn't install properly

[guillem_tell]

Hello everybody.

I installed Kubuntu 12.10 a week ago and, even I am a little bit familiarized about ubuntu repositories and the apt-get orders, I think that I have some problems trying to install concrete software using the Konsole.

After installing and trying to plot the function "sin(x)" nothing happens. Does it anything to do with the warnings I obtain above?



-Kile

Trying to install Kile, I receive the message that only 4MB will be instales, while in other distros I tried (with GNOME) about 1 GB must be installed. I do not understand what's going on.

Are there any dependencies that maybe are broken?

Thank you in advance!!

[ohadcn]

can you run gnuplot from terminal and tell us what it outputs to it?
you can also try gnuplot-qt, that should work better on kubuntu

about kile: if you already have kde, qt and latex installed - it should not have big dependencies, but if not any of the mentioned is huge
is it working?

[guillem_tell]

Hello ohadcn, thank you for your reply.

Well, I tried with gummi and it works perfectly, that means that Kile should as well, but I have some compilation warnings related with the bibliography, i.e. it works fine

But with gnuplot I continue having problems.
Here the output:

guillem@guillem-arbeit:~$ gnuplot

Terminal type set to 'unknown'
gnuplot> plot sin(x)

Nothing appears, no plot window, no error report,... nothing at all.

Thank you again.

UPDATE: with the gnuplot-Qt library it worked fine. Thank you very much!!
