What were you trying to do?

run gnuplot from the gnuplot locker:

> athena% add gnuplot
> athena% gnuplot
> gnuplot: Command not found.
> athena% ~gnuplot/bin/gnuplot
> 
> There doesn't appear to be an executable called gnuplot for gnuplot
> version 4.0 on this platform. [...]

What's wrong:

Uncertain. Perhaps the locker needs an arch/sun4x_510 symlink?
Alternatively, it's possible my dotfiles are just too old.

Running gnuplot manually from the gnuplot_v4.0 locker works, but for
some reason I can't add that locker:

> athena% add gnuplot_v4.0
> athena% gnuplot
> gnuplot: Command not found.
> athena% ~gnuplot_v4.0/bin/gnuplot
[gnuplot runs just fine]

What should have happened:

Ideally, at least one of "add gnuplot" or "add gnuplot_v4.0" should
have put a gnuplot binary in my path.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
