Here I desribe another discussion on Bug tracker on gnuplot
https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/2147/



My summary from searching through the history shown in the links above:
	* gnuplot calls QLocalSocket::connectToServer("name")
	* Qt tries to open a named pipe for the socket using O_NONBLOCK
	* This fails because Cygwin has problems with non-blocking named 
pipes. Back in 2010 Enrico Forestieri posted some simple examples of 
this (standalone tests, no involvement of gnuplot code) but this 
apparently did not lead to a fix. 
	* the Qt patch at the head of this bug report would make gnuplot work, but needs to be wrapped in a conditional test for CYGWIN. I can 
understand why upstream Qt would not want to deal with this. 
Conclusion:  We probably can't fix it in the gnuplot code.  There is a trivial work-around that requires modifying the Qt source code, but 
this would only make sense for the purpose of making a Qt package 
specifically for Cygwin.
