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".
I confirmed this. I think my problem is that in the MacPorts version
of gnuplot the terminal type is set to 'unknown'. Do you know how to
set the environment of the MacPort's version? Normally the statement
export GNUPLOT=aqua or export GNUPLOT=x11
is placed in the .profile and .bashrc file but this isn't seem to be
working for me since I get the terminal type set to 'unknown' report
when I type /opt/local/bin/gnuplot. Oh! I just notices that when I
called gnuplot as in the previous statement I get
Unknown or ambigious terminal name 'aqua'
before the GNUPLOT preamble printout. Don't know what this means ...
do you?
