What patch are you talking about?
The patch I included when I filed #741072, which is what got us to here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=gnuplot-4.6.5-1.1-nmu.diff;att=1;bug=741072 All it does is change to build against wx3.0 instead of 2.8. > If there is a patch that fixes this (i.e. makes gnuplot work with > wx3) I'm perfectly happy to test it out.

I think that's because Debian's gnuplot package doesn't currently call XInitThreads(). > Can you point me to patches that allowed other Debian packages to > migrate from wx 2.8 -> 3.0?

Here's the list of tagged bugs, many of which have patches: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=wx3.0;users=freewx-ma...@lists.alioth.debian.org A few packages have been updated to wx3 before a bug got filed though, so this may not be a complete collection of such patches, but it's the closest I know of. But I've not seen this issue with any of the other packages I've looked at. I think it's due to how gnuplot uses wx and threads together.
