If you get gnuplot with fink or darvin-ports or some such, it will not
have Aqua terminal compiled in. You can recompile gnuplot
from source or get binary from sourceforge.
Alternatively, with your existing gnuplot, you should be able to use
X11 terminal (you need to start X11 before starting octave).
I, personally, prefer X11 terminal anyway -- its ability to
zoom with a mouse wins me over.

Sincerely,

Dmitri.
