Gnuplot and Windows

Gnuplot and Windows

Hello All,
  I tried my hand with gnuplot yesterday on my windows machine (Windows 10;
Emacs 24.5.1; Org 8.3.4) and I keep getting the error "Searching for
program: no such file or directory: gnuplot".

I googled this and found some forum answers, but none of the tricks solved
this issue for me.

What I want are simple X-Y plots.

Can you please help me with this?

Thanks and have a great day!
Bala

You probably need to install gnuplot:

Thanks Eric for your reply.

Yes, I installed gnuplot, gnuplot-mode and gnuplot.el. Still, I get this
error. I fooled around with changing the variable gnuplot-program to
windows notation of the PATH. I added gnuplot.exe to the $PATH variable as
well.

Still no luck
Thanks
Bala

Well, hopefully others can help.  I do not use MS Windows and no nothing
about it.

Bala,

Does `(executable-find "gnuplot")` return the path to the executable?  If
not it might not be properly set in Windows (and/or Emacs was not restarted
with the updated environment variables).
