I've drooled over the lovely images before, so yesterday I tried 
installing all of pdflatex and its dependencies (via apt-get, not a cd). 
Tioga still didn't work (even after reinstalling and rebuilding it):

$ ruby ts_Tioga.rb
ruby: symbol lookup error: 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/tioga-1.7/lib/Tioga/FigureMaker.so: 
undefined symbol: Init_Font_Dictionary

Anybody have any ideas?

What about gnuplot or tkcanvas? The latter has the advantage of being 
dynamic.
