Avoid gnuplot if you can, the license is GPL-incompatible and not one we should encourage (See bug #100612 for why). > gTybalt also depends upon a few other pieces of open-source code (cint, > nestedsums, NTL) that aren't currently packaged for Debian. I use NTL, but given it is a static-only C++ library I never felt the need to package it. (Also it is heavily tuned at build-time, so a generic build is likely to be slower than a tuned build, and I tend to massage it a bit, so I need to recompile it anyway).
