T think the reason is very simple: Debian gnuplot is not suid-root.
(It *used* to be, in fact, if you do a "make install" instead of copying
it by hand in debian.rules, gnuplot is installed suid-root). 

Thanks.

OK, that's one reason not to use the "make install" then. I'll put
something in a README file, explaining that if people want to be able
to use non-root users to use the svgalib stuff, they'll have to 
make it setuid. At least I don't want to maintain a package that
runs setuid while most users don't want it to be setuid.

Still, I'd like to use the "make install", I'll just remove
the setuid bit after the make install.


Thanks

If you don't setuid it, whatever suid bit the user may put will be wiped
out by new installs. Why don't you just leave it suid-root and ask the
user on *first* install about it? Ideally, you may use suidmanager to
avoid this suid bit to be wiped out.
