I'm using Octave 3.0 under Mac OSX and have also installed gnuplot 4.2.2 that was included in the package. After the initial install, gnuplot displayed the plots as expected. About a month ago, on the advice of AppleCare Support to try to fix an- other, unrelated problem (getting FTP transfers to work), I did a so-called 'archive-install'. After that, not only did the FTP problem persist, but I've been discovering a number of other imporatnt things that no longer worked, e.g. printing, and now gnuplot. Here's what happens. I've re-installed Xcode, X11, and AquaTerm, and also gnuplot. To test it out I invoked gnuplot by itself, with out going thru Octave. First I opened AquaTerm, then gnuplot, and tried to plot the sine function using 'aqua'.
I don't know what is going wrong on your Mac now. However, Gnuplot.app brings its own AquaTerm.framework that should be started automatically when needed by Gnuplot.app. It is placed in
/Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/lib/AquaTerm.frameworkTry not to startup another AquaTerm manually that might either be buggy or version incompatible or whatever. One idea would be to completely remove Gnuplot.app from your Applications folder
rm -rf /Applications/Gnuplot.appand then reinstall that one again. Make sure that you have quit the manually started AquaTerm (wherever it comes from) and then try again. If this all doesn't help then a switch to X11 will. Therefore you need to
export GNUTERM=x11 # watch out lower case letter x*before* you startup Gnuplot.app or put the 'export' line into your ~/.profile file so that it will be found everytime you launch Terminal.app. The curious thing is that X11.app cannot be connected correctly *after* you already started Gnuplot.app. You can also try to set a line 'export GNUTERM=aqua' in your .profile file - maybe this helps for you?!
Let us know if something helps for you... Thomas
