compile error:print: the gnuplot terminal, "postscript", is not available

[Mats Hedlund]

While compiling the latest development version (downloaded yesterday),
on Ubuntu 8.04LTS, the make step fails as posted below. I compiled
gnuplot just over a year ago, version 4.3, and been using it with
previous successful octave builds, which has been 3.0.x. Obviously there
are huge changes to graphics (and more) from 3.0.x to 3.1.x so I may
well have missed something trivial. I did get GraphicsMagick installed.
Didn't see any similar problem on the lists. Any hints or tips?

Thanks,
Mats
