It looks like the change you made to the gnuplot script introduced a syntax
error.
Any chance you edited the file below with Textedit ?
/Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot
If so, you'll need to be sure to save it as plain text. When saving be sure you
select "Plain Text Encoding [Unicode (UTF-8)] and uncheck the box to make sure
".txt" isn't used as an extension.
If the gnuplot script was saved correctly, then I suspect you made a mistake in
modifying it ... or the instructions you followed contained a mistake.
We recently updated the instructions for fixing gnuplot under Lion. See the
README at the link below.
