I'm trying to install Gnuplot on both a 10.3.9 mini and a 10.4.8 macbook.

I've installed both AquaTerm and Gnuplot (from binaries) as per the instructions on this page http://www.lee-phillips.org/info/Macintosh/gnuplot.html.

When I try to invoke Gnuplot by cd'ing to /usr/local/bin and issueing a ./gnuplot I get this error:

dyld: ./gnuplot can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Trace/BPT trap

Anyone know what the deal is with this? Anyone have Gnuplot sucessfully running on a Mac?

I want to use python or ruby to generate simple graphs and have them served on my server... nothing too crazy.

Any help would be appreciated ;-)

I installed gnuplot via Fink, and it seems to work ok on apples X11.

The error does not show up in your post.

I installed gnuplot with MacPorts and it works fine. The link error you see indicates it cannot find the libaquaterm.dylib library. Try setting your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental to /usr/local/bin and see if it works. You can see if gnuplot has other dynamic libs it cannot locate with the otool command:

Code:
furlong:~ samm$ otool -L /opt/local/bin/gnuplot

I have the Darwin Ports version installed on my computer. I don't use it via X11, but always choose ps as output and then do a ps2pdf + open on it.

When I install gnuplot, I get that error too. Someplace in the code it assumes that you'll use version 1.0.0 of Aquaterm, and that's not the latest release.

If you look in /usr/local/lib you'll probably see libaquaterm.1.0.1.dylib. I just copied that file in Terminal (sudo cp ...) to one called libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib- not the ideal solution, but now I can plot.

Another thing you might need to know: you can use the downloaded version of X11 for Panther but Tiger needs a different version, which you have to get from the install CD's/DVD.
