Re: gnuplot not working on Mac OSX 10.9.5

[Brian Kaczynski]

Thanks Carlo, this "setenv GNUTERM qt" fixes the problem.

There shouldn't be any other versions of Gnuplot installed on my machine.  I have no idea where to find spurious settings if there are such.  So I will consider this problem solved.

Did you have a previous version of Gnuplot installed?

It seems you have some leftover settings that try to force Gnuplot to set
the terminal to aquaterm wich is not included with the distribution.

Try the following commands before plotting:

close all
setenv GNUTERM qt

You could put this into your ~/.octaverc file not to repeat it every time
you start Octave.

Or even better try to find out where the spurious settings come from
and delete them.
