The fink install of gnuplot 3.7.1-4 works just fine with octave & XFree86 under OSX. I would also add that one additional advantage of running octave under XFree86 as opposed to AquaTerm is that octave's image( ) command uses imagemagick. Imagemagick sends its output to X11 and does not work with Aquaterm (at least not yet anyway). Since I wanted to try out Aquaterm, I have also tried the unstable release of gnuplot 3.8. It works just fine too. Either 3.7.1-4 or 3.8 is acceptable. Fink makes both available. Gnuplot 3.7.1-4 is the current stable release and comes automatically when gnuplot is selected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael W.
