What were you trying to do?
Generate a gif from gnuplot
What's wrong:
gnuplot> set term gif
^
unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just 'set terminal' for a list
What should have happened:
It should have responded with
gnuplot> set term gif
Terminal type set to 'gif'
Options are 'small size 640,480 '
It appears that gnuplot doesn't know about the gif file format
under Solaris, yet it works perfectly fine under Linux. This is
bad, because both platforms are running version 3.7, patchlevel
1, yet they behave differently. It would be nice if they worked
the same way, or if this discrepancy were documented somewhere.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
