./configure --disable-wxwidgets --without-x leads to much less deps, still X is pulled in by gd. And gd is really linked against libXpm. ./configure --disable-wxwidgets leads to something similar with the gnuplot in RHEL5, though with more dependencies, none seems obviously bogus. That being said, I like the wxwidgets gnuplot output, it is better than the previous one, so I guess that the best is to have 2 executables. The default one should be, in my opinion, with wxwidgets, and gnuplot-nowxwidgets could be the other one, in a specific subpackage. Thoughts?
Hello, I agree with your opinion, there is a discussion on http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fedora-server-list/2008-December/000008.html regarding this topic so I'm waiting for some feedback there.
For now in gnuplot-4.2.4-2.fc11 there are two separate subpackages - gnuplot and gnuplot-minimal.
