Re: [Gretl-devel] Gnuplot in Gretl Quartz

From the menu Tools, Gnuplot of Gretl Quartz 1.9.13 I'm running
Gnuplot.
It starts with the message "Unknown or ambiguous terminal name

And issues the message "Terminal type set to 'unknown'".
The gnuplot command show term gives: terminal type is unknown.
I also tried plotting but no plots appear.
I used otool -L gnuplot to see if gnuplot is linked to Aquaterm (there is an Aquaterm
and a libaquaterm.dylib embedded in the Gretl.app).
Apparently not.
But when I plot a something from within Gretl's main window I get a nice plot.
So what is Gretl asking gnuplot to do?
I've also made a gnuplot script and that also doesn't seem to plot anything.
What's going on?
Urgh, originally I had an aquaterm-enabled build of gnuplot for the
gretl-quartz package, but it looks as if when I updated the build at some
point the aquaterm linkage somehow got dropped.
This isn't a problem with plots generated by gretl, since they use
gnuplot's pngcairo "terminal" to output a PNG file, and that works fine.
And in my testing on the Mac I didn't think to check the stand-alone
gnuplot functionality after I verified it originally.
OK, so I need to rebuild gnuplot.
BTW: window switching now working with no problems. Thanks a lot for
this. Gretl quartz is a pleasure to use now and a lot faster in starting
up than the X-version.
That's good to hear.
