   I just compiled gnuplot,and now I am testing it.When issusing
   gnuplot command, it enters gnuplot,and performs.But when issusing
   gnuplot_x11 command,it pop up a window with nothing inside it.I
   can't figure out how to make it work,the manual pages don't provide
   enough information.Is it due to some problem during comipling or do
   you have to specify some additional options?Maybe this is a stupid
   question,but I can figure it out.Thanks in advance.

Gnuplot is not a GNU program.  the name is coincidental.  check your
documentation for the address to send questions about the program.

to answer your question, gnuplot_x11 is a helper program used by
gnuplot when you set the terminal type to X.  you are not supposed to
run it directly.  the X drawing is done by another program since X
event handling can occur (when multi-threaded OS's become the norm,
multiple processes won't be needed for this).
