Install gnuplot without as normal user

Hi,

I am developing an app that require gnuplot installed.

But I do noticed that ubuntu 8.04.4-desktop come without gnuplot.

Is there some way to install gnuplot as a normal user, without root privileges?

Or, may be, some one can think in another way to solve my problem...

Why do you need to install it? Fetch the source, build it, run it.

You can think in another way?

Because this is the only way I can imagine.

Thanks..

carbonfiber is right.
There is no "other way" unless you have root privileges.

And 'buntu 8.04 is about to go "Unsupported". Time for a reinstall I think.

You really do need to keep up to date.
