As I said in a previous email I am running OS X 10.4.11 on a
Intel MacBook Pro. My GNUPLOT was not ported from MacPorts. I was
downloaded earlier (before porting Octave). It is one rev behind
(ver 4.4 patchlevel 3) current level..
Since GNUPLOT is a dependence of Octave, should this matter that
it was not ported via MacPorts?
If I port GNULOT now from MacPorts will it work automatically
with Octave?
Or do I have to make some changes to the .profile and .bashrc file?
MacPorts is supposed to only use its own software (e.g. its own
version of gnuplot), not any other version you might already have
installed. See:
http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#WhyisMacPortsusingitsownlibraries
As you said, octave declares a dependency on gnuplot. Therefore,
if you have installed octave with MacPorts, then the MacPorts
version of gnuplot has already been installed for you. You can
verify this by checking the list produced by typing:
port installed
I do not know what you have to do to get octave to use that
version of gnuplot.
Indeed when I type port installed it shows that I have gnuplot ver
4.2.3! However when I type gnuplot from a terminal window it shows
gnuplot 4.2.2 and "Terninal type set to 'unknown'". I'll have to
research this further. Thanks
If you type "which gnuplot" it should tell you which gnuplot is being
run when you type "gnuplot". Or you could explicitly run the MacPorts
gnuplot by typing "/opt/local/bin/gnuplot".
