Hi,
I need to have octave running under mac osx, but, even if I was finally 
able to compile it with FFTW and ATLAS, then I found it was unable to 
plot anything.
I've installed Apple's X11 (no SDK) and successfully compiled gnuplot 
(along with its dependencies: gd, png, jpeg and so on). But, when I 
launch it under xterm, it says:

Terminal type set to 'unknown'

and when I try to plot something, it doesn't output with an error and 
simply does not plot anything (even if DISPLAY and TERM variables are 
correctly set by Apple's X11)!

The same happens with OroborOSX.

Can someone help me?

Furthermore:
Do you think it's better using Fink Octave (even if it makes you 
download tons of source, like xfree86 libs)?

Thanks A LOT,
Nicola
