[O] Help with babel and gnuplot

[Paul Stansell]

Hello,

I hesitate to ask this question as I feel I should be able to work it
out myself, but I don't seem to be able to.

I'm trying to get gnuplot working via babel.

I'm using Emacs 24.2.1 and I have Org-mode release_8.0.6-329-g0c233a
installed in ~/org-mode.

I'm running

/usr/bin/emacs -Q -l minimal-org.el test.org

where minimal-org.el contains just

(setq debug-on-error t
debug-on-signal nil
debug-on-quit nil)

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/org-mode/lisp"))

(org-babel-do-load-languages
'org-babel-load-languages
'((gnuplot . t)))

and test.org contains just

#+begin_src gnuplot :results silent
plot x
#+end_src

When I press C-c C-c inside the source block I get

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "gnuplot")
require(gnuplot)
org-babel-execute:gnuplot("plot x" ...
org-babel-execute-src-block(nil)
org-babel-execute-src-block-maybe()
org-babel-execute-maybe()
org-babel-execute-safely-maybe()
run-hook-with-args-until-success(org-babel-execute-safely-maybe)
org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c(nil)
call-interactively(org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c nil nil)

I've been assuming it's a path issue, but
~/org-mode/lisp/ob-gnuplot.elc is present and I have gnuplot installed
in /usr/bin/gnuplot.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Paul

You need to install gnuplot.el, which looks like it can be installed
with ELPA.

Cheers,
