-------------------------------1142119872 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Just guessing ... Maybe plotutils cannot be found because its path is not visible ? What happens if you run the example from _http://ruby-gsl.sourceforge.net/rnd3.html_ (http://ruby-gsl.sourceforge.net/rnd3.html) . If that works out ok, you could execute the graph command as an external command, eg. by including it in backticks or by calling the system command ...
