From help-request at octave dot org Thu Jan 5 23:06:06 2006 Subject: Re: Octave won't plot on Mac OS X From: Norm Hecht To: Octave Help Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2006 22:00:41 -0700 (GMT-07:00) Still no luck on getting Octave plotting or even gnuplot to work. I added two lines to my .tcshrc file for GNUTERM and DISPLAY, so now it's setenv PATH /opt/local/bin:opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH setenv GNUTERMAPP /Applications/DarwinPorts/AquaTerm.app setenv GNUTERM aqua setenv DISPLAY 0.0 When I log into gnuplot, it gives the message "Unknown or ambiguous terminal name 'aqua'". Typing "set terminal" shows that yep, no sign of aqua on the list, nor any variation on aqua. I get the same error when I try plotting in Octave itself. Do I need to get an updated/modified version of gnuplot that deals with aqua? Thanks again for helping!
