I'm not familiar with macports (I use Fink), but what does the
following pair of commands give you
$ echo $GNUTERM
$ echo $GNUTERMAPP
You might also check your path to be sure that the corrent gnuplot
will be encountered first.
$ echo $PATH
My path points to the applications installed by Fink first.
/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/
X11/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
I can't say if the problem is due to your duplicate gnuplots, or due
to different version of gnuplot, or something else. However, if you
have no reason for such an installation, I'd prune down to a single
installation.
Ben, I tried these 'echo' commands both within Terminal and within
Octave
( using 'system('echo $...') ). Here are the results in table form.
________ ______
within Terminal Octave
echo $GNUTERM <blank> ans = 0
echo $GNUTERMAPP <blank> ans = 0
echo $PATH /opt/local/bin: AOCRlo/3.0.0/site/eiad:
/opt/local/sbin: AOCRlo/api-v32/site/eiad:
/bin:/sbin: AOCRlo/site/eiad:
/usr/bin: AOCRlo/3.0.0/eiad:
/usr/sbin AOCR/bin:
AGCR/bin:
/opt/local/bin:
/opt/local/sbin:
/bin:/sbin:
/usr/bin:
/usr/sbin
where AOCR = /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources
AOCRlo = AOCR/libexec/octave
AGCR = /Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources
eiad = exec/i386-apple-darwin8.9.1
and the PATH entries were separated to individual lines for clarity.
I notice that nowhere in the PATH are there references to either X11
or
AquaTerm. When I /Applications/Utilities/X11.app manually, set
GNUTERM to
x11, then ask Octave to plot, again nothing happens.
BTW, I deleted all but the Octave version of gnuplot. In my reply to
Thomas Treichl I describe other things I tried. Any further ideas
would be
appreciated.
