I want to install grace (plotting package; formerly called "xmgr"; also called xmgrace) on a standard PC running Red Hat Linux. I was hoping to find someprecompiled executables, but I only found the complete source files with Makefiles, ".rpm" files, and ".so" files, but I am not experienced enough to know what to do with them.

Can anyone point me to precompiled binaries?

Thanks.

It's worth trying to build things yourself. Well packaged source normally has the following steps.

1. make new work directory

2. extract source in directory

3. run "./configure"

4. run "make"

5. run "make install"

I tried your steps:
1. configure run ok
2. make did lots of things, but finally stopped with some error messages, and saying something like 'Leaving directory /....../T1lib/t1lib'
3. make install didn't work either.

I think compiling/installing it myself is too complicated.
