I am running wheezy on my black. If I remember correctly I just used the package manager to get gnuplot, octave and tools though I may have downloaded source and just compiles it. It has ben a while and I don’t exactly remember. I also loaded several different SDHC cards in my playing around.

After bblack’s response I flashed BBB with Ubuntu 13.04 (BBB-eMMC-flasher-ubuntu-13.04-2013-10-08.img) and insalled GNUPlot using apt-get. It’s working like a charm.
Now I need to install QT and write a function to call GNUPplot. I have only basic knowledge of Linux and programming and find this very interesting as well as challenging.
