I just tested on macOS 10.15.3, both the 2020b-git snapshot from
March 5 (which was already in place) and the 2020b release. At
first I had a problem running gnuplot but this was apparently due
to a stale ~/.gretl2rc. After deleting that gnuplot works fine
from within gretl.
I'm now updating the iMac in question to 10.15.4, and we'll see
what happens...
OK, I'm now on macOS 10.15.4, and gnuplot as called by gretl still
works fine here.
After deleting my old ~/.gretl2rc (maybe a relic of testing
different gnuplot versions?), the default path for gnuplot is
/Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot
(Note: not gnuplot.sh. The gnuplot binary should, I think, inherit
its environment from gretl, which is now set internally via C code.)
