[Haskell-cafe] tplot (out of memory)

[Manish Trivedi]

Hi folks,

Just thought it might be helpful to close this issue. Haskell tplot out of
memory on centos ep6  was indeed related to the font issue. As Malcolm
pointed out, installing x11 fonts resolved the issue.

This yum install worked for me "yum install xorg-x11-font*".


Thanks,
Manish
