Dear mailing list members;

I've successfully built Demeter from source on my computer running Ubuntu 18.04. Running "dathena", for example opens the familiar Athena window. Once I try to plot something, however, I get no plot window. It appears as if the program has done something, but the window just doesn't appear.

I have installed gnuplot-x11.

running 'gnuplot -e "plot sin(x)"' produces no window, but

'gnuplot -p -e "plot sin(x)"' produces a plot, and if I just run

'plot sin(x)' within gnuplot, then I get the plot, so it appears that gnuplot itself is working correctly.

'show terminal' results in:

terminal type is wxt 0 enhanced

I have tried changing the terminal to 'wxt' under preferences>gnuplot>terminal in Athena, which didn't fix the problem.

I have also tried changing the terminal to 'qt' and installing gnuplot-qt. This didn't work, so I purged it and switched back to gnuplot-x11.

I haven't managed to get gnuplot to run with x11 as its default terminal. It seems that the default terminal of gnuplot-x11 is wxt.

I'm not sure if these matter, but when I run Athena, I get errors in the terminal like this:

(dathena:16207): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 11:55:29.414: gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkCheckButton

thanks,

Joseph
