Subject: can not get octave to plot
To:
address@hiddenHello all,
My OS: Mac OSX 10.5.6
My Octave version: 3.2.2
My GnuPlot version: 4.2.5
I installed both GnuPlot and Octave. Also installed control toolbox for octave, which works fine...
But when I try to use the “plot” function in Octave I get the following error pasted below:
FYI: I run X11 beforehand and I already set the DISPLAY to 0.0 in my .zshrc. The gnuterm is set to aqua (no idea what that is but it should be ok, as I followed many threads on this - though i don't think it changes anything when I set it to x11)
ERROR is:
octave-3.2.2:1> plot(1:10)
error: __gnuplot_get_var__: Can not make fifo (No such file or directory)
error: called from:
error: /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/share/octave/3.2.2/m/plot/__gnuplot_get_var__.m at line 69, column 7

error: /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/share/octave/3.2.2/m/plot/gnuplot_drawnow.m at line 88, column 5
Could you offer any help?
Thanks,
