Precompiled 3.4.0 for Mac lacks gnuplot

[Ardillas del Monte]

Hi,

I'm new to Octave, but I've used Matlab and I'd like to try Octave.

I'm on a Mac with 10.6.x, so I downloaded the precompiled 3.4.0 package, which says that it's ready to run and comes with all necessary stuff.

When mounting the DMG image, I see that both the Documentation and Extras dirs are empty (zero bytes). I dragged the Octave.app file into my applications directory.

When I try to plot something, I get the error stating "gnuplot: command not found".

What do I have to do in order to get 3.4.0 working on my Mac? Must I install other packages?

Thanks!
