Follow-up Comment #1, bug #55023 (project octave):
Something is odd here. The gnuplot_binary command names the command that is
executed when a user tries to switch toolkits using the command
graphics_toolkit gnuplot
As such, it is fine for it to have a value, such as 'gnuplot', even when that
executable does not exist on the system.
The gnuplot_binary program is very simple and only allows get/set access to
the persistent variable gp_binary.
The reason why the test seems to fail, is because your original value was "",
and it is not valid to set an empty string. As I mentioned at the beginning,
it is okay not to have gnuplot on your system, but the string itself should
not be empty.
The problem seems to be that gnuplot_binary.m is generated by configure from
gnuplot_binary.in.m where there is this line:
persistent gp_binary = %OCTAVE_CONF_GNUPLOT%;
To make sure I'm on the right track, how did you configure this version of
Octave?
