Description:

One of the more significant changes to arrive with gnuplot 4.6.0 is the introduction of a qt terminal.

However, the arch package for 4.6.0 seems to have not been built with qt support. Setting qt as the terminal results in error.

See:
http://www.gnuplot.info/announce.4.6.0

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

gnuplot 4.6.0

Steps to reproduce:
* start gnuplot in a terminal
* set terminal qt
* No qt goodness received. :(
This task depends upon

--enable-qt option to ./configure will do the job.

Sorry, it doesn't seem to be optional after all ( FS#29270 ).

The size of Qt is just too large to have it as a hard dependency. I've removed it again in 4.6.0-3.

Please re-open this task if in the future it becomes an optional dependency.
