Re: can't plot in Octave on my Mac, but gnuplot and Aqua are working

[Henry F. Mollet]

Perhaps you also need to put some of your statement in .bash_profile, in
addition to .bashrc? Below are my trimmed cat .bash_profile and cat .bashrc
Henry

GNU Octave, version 2.1.71 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.1.0).
G N U P L O T Version 4.0 patchlevel 0
AquaTerm v 1.0 (1.0)

[~] -bash-2.05b 503$ cat .bash_profile
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/share/doc/vtk-py23/Examples/Modelling/
Tcl:/sw/share/doc/vtk-py23/Examples//:/sw/lib/X11/grace/bin:/Users/hfm:
export PATH

export GNUTERM=aqua
export DISPLAY=:0.0

[~] -bash-2.05b 504$ cat .bashrc
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
export PATH
export GNUTERM=aqua
export DISPLAY=:0.0
