Re: Help Gnuplot

[Sichen Dong]

Ben & Alex,

Thanks for your replies. I just checked the environments of both users. Gnuplot environments are same. The strange part is AquaTerm. I uninstalled AquaTerm from computer. So whenever I plot something as user B, Gnuplot runs just fine, but no AquaTerm window starts up. However, whenever I run as User A, I AquaTerm starts up just fine even I cannot find any AquaTerm.app on my computer. Anyway, I made my Octave plotting work with X11. So I can get my chart plotted.

Thanks again for your help.

However, when I am using user B, whenever I plot something from Terminal, the Terminal title bar change display to gnuplot-4.2.5, AquaTerm starts. But the problem is that the plotting process just hangs there. No AquaTerm window displays, and octave stop responding until I manually quit AquaTerm. I have been straggling with problem for a month. Please help.

Sounds like the Aquaterm and Gnuplot being used under account/user B are not compatible.  Under user A & B what does "which gnuplot" return from the Terminal? (should be the same).

If you use Splotlight to search for "AquaTerm.app" do you get more than one result under either account, or does Spotlight find a different AquaTerm.app for each account?

These sort of problems are more common if an /Users/USERNAME/Applications directory exists to permit individual users to install Applications which other users will not see.
