Hi guys,
I am using GRETL for my econometric analysis, which relies on gnu plot for any kind of
graphic visualisation e.g. graphs/distributions etc.
I already worked in the past with gretl and it was working perfectly. Suddenly, today when
i tried to graph something the software told me:
“ Gnuplot is broken or too old: must be >= version 5.0 “
I downloaded the new version of gnu plot for mac (which, by the way, should already be
included in the gretl package, as the guide suggests) but I am not able to install it.
I tried to download other versions of both gretl and gnuplot but nothing changes.
I am really confused, I don’t know what else to try and I really need to get this analysis
done.
Hope you could direct me on the right path.
Thank you in advance.

Just to be clear: this started happening without your updating to
a different gretl version?

Yes, gnuplot is included in the gretl package. It won't help to
install gnuplot independently of gretl.
I tried to download other versions of both gretl and gnuplot but
nothing changes.
Please tell us exactly what version of gretl you are running: you can
find that information under /Help/About gretl -- there are three
relevant lines under the logo. Also, please give details on your
operating system ("About This Mac").

Further thoughts. I checked the current gretl release, 2019a, on a
Macbook Air running Yosemite (OS X 10.10.5). Plotting went fine and
the packaged gnuplot is version 5.2.4, so "too old" does not apply.
That leaves "broken"... I guess it's possible that an OS X system
update removed a library that gretl's gnuplot needs. You could check
for this by opening a Terminal window (under Applications/Utilities
in the Finder) and executing the following command:
/Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot.sh
If gnuplot can't start then hopefully there will an error message
that gives us a clue.
One other thing: In gretl you could go to Tools/Preferences/General
and the Programs tab, and see what's entered for "Command to launch
gnuplot". The entry should either be just "gnuplot", or else
"/Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot" -- anything
else is likely to cause gretl plotting to fail.
