This is a packaging error. I probably introduced it when I "improved"
the windows build system. I will generate a fixed installer when I get
time.
You can work around the problem yourself
1. create a bin directory under Maxima-5.31.1\gnuplot\
2. move all the files in Maxima-5.31.1\gnuplot\ to
Maxima-5.31.1\gnuplot\bin
3. copy the etc and share directories from gnuplot-4.6.3 into
Maxima-5.31.1\gnuplot\
4. edit Maxima-5.31.1\bin\maxima.bat
* find the line starting "set path=%maxima_prefix%\gnuplot"
* change "%maxima_prefix%\gnuplot" to "%maxima_prefix%\gnuplot\bin"
This works for me for some simple tests.
