copied!<p>Setting the terminal type to x11 would solve the problem, but if you want to get AquaTerm working with gnuplot here's how: </p> <p>First we need to uninstall the existing installation of gnuplot, open up a terminal and run this command.</p> <pre><code>brew uninstall gnuplot </code></pre> <p>Download AquaTerm from here: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/aquaterm/" rel="noreferrer">http://sourceforge.net/projects/aquaterm/</a> and install as you would any OSX application. </p> <p>From here on, there are two ways to get gnuplot happy with aquaterm, <strong>Method 1</strong> is easier, but didn't work for me because my AquaTerm installation didn't create the correct symlinks in /usr/local/lib, <strong>Method 2</strong> is the one that worked for me, and I am sharing the steps I took to get it working. </p> <p><strong>Method 1:</strong> Simply reinstall gnuplot after installing AquaTerm seems to fix this issue for people. </p> <pre><code>brew install gnuplot </code></pre> <p>Go to the verify step to see if everything worked, if not, follow method 2</p> <p><strong>Method 2:</strong> This method is more advanced, but guaranteed to work if you are patient. </p> <p>Essentially gnuplot cannot locate the AquaTerm library files, that's why aqua doesn't show up as a terminal type option after we installed gnuplot. We need to modify the homebrew recipe for gnuplot to enable aquaterm support, open up the brew recipe for gnuplot by typing: </p> <pre><code>brew edit gnuplot </code></pre> <p>And add these lines as shown in this github commit message, this will enable the brew option for gnuplot to include aquaterm <a href="https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/14647#issuecomment-21132477" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/14647#issuecomment-21132477</a></p> <p>Check to see if the proper AquaTerm library symlinks exist by doing these checks: </p> <pre><code>ls /usr/local/lib/libaquaterm* ls /usr/local/include/aquaterm/* </code></pre> <p>The first line above should return some *.dylib files, the second line above should return some *.h files, if they do not exist run these commands from terminal: </p> <pre><code>sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/AquaTerm.framework/Versions/A/AquaTerm /usr/local/lib/libaquaterm.dylib sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/AquaTerm.framework/Versions/A/AquaTerm /usr/local/lib/libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/AquaTerm.framework/Versions/A/Headers/* /usr/local/include/aquaterm/. </code></pre> <p>This is necessary sometimes as the installer for AquaTerm can't create the symlinks in the correct places due to permission issues. Once the /usr/local/ symlinks are created, reinstall gnuplot like this: </p> <pre><code>brew install gnuplot --with-aquaterm # (formerly --aquaterm in old versions) </code></pre> <p>Verify that gnuplot can see aquaterm using the steps below and happy plotting! </p> <hr> <p><strong>Verify:</strong> that gnuplot was configured with AquaTerm correctly by launching gnuplot in terminal</p> <pre><code>gnuplot </code></pre> <p>Type this in the gnuplot terminal</p> <pre><code>gnuplot> set term </code></pre> <p>Look for the line</p> <pre><code>Available terminal types: aqua Interface to graphics terminal server for Mac OS X ... </code></pre> <p>If you see the that line above, then you are done, gnuplot is configured correctly and everybody's happy. </p>
