_______________________________________________________
Details:
As originally reported in bug #55528, if the gnuplot binary that Octave is
trying to use is either not a valid binary, or the wrong program, or fails in
some other way, a misleading error says that gnuplot is too old.
This is easy to demonstrate by simply pointing 'gnuplot_binary' to something
else:
>> gnuplot_binary ('/bin/false');
>> graphics_toolkit gnuplot
error: graphics_toolkit: gnuplot version too old.
error: called from
graphics_toolkit at line 88 column 9
There should be an improved error check that reports that something went wrong
calling the gnuplot program.
