Hi,
I recently installed Octave on my MacBook Pro, OS X Snow Leopard.  The first 
time I tried to plot data I got the following result:
octave-3.2.3:6> plot(x,y)sh: gnuplot: command not founderror: popen2 (child): 
unable to start process -- No such file or directoryerror: you must have 
gnuplot installed to display graphics; if you have gnuplot installed in a 
non-standard location, see the 'gnuplot_binary' functionoctave-3.2.3:7> error: 
called from:error:   
/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/share/octave/3.2.3/m/plot/__gnuplot_open_stream__.m
 at line 28, column 44error:   
/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/share/octave/3.2.3/m/plot/gnuplot_drawnow.m
 at line 85, column 19
Is gnuplot installed separately?  If so, where can I find it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,Alan address@hidden

'gnuplot' is a separate application: http://gnuplot.info/ .

Probably your OS has some kind of package manager which knows about
'gnuplot'.
