Re: can't plot in Octave on my Mac, but gnuplot and Aqua are working

Jonathan,

You said that you 'installed' Aquaterm, gnuplot and octave. Where did you get the binaries for gnuplot and octave?

On my machine I don't have to set any environmental variables. GNUTERM=aqua is set when building gnuplot, the other variables are entirely unnecessary.

You have at least have the Image module of octave-forge installed, but are missing ImageMagick, which is needed for this module to work.

Hi,
   I installed Aquaterm 1.0.1 and gnuplot 4.0 and I can make plots with gnuplot, so I think I installed them correctly.  I installed Octave and set the following variables in .bashrc:
**
export AQUATERM_REPORT_TIMING=1
export AQUATERM_PATH=/Applications/AquaTerm.app
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export GNUTERMAPP=/Applications/AquaTerm.app
export GNUTERM=aqua
**

When I start Octave up, I get the following error:

**
error: couldn't link module /usr/local/libexec/octave/2.9.9/site/oct/i386-apple-darwin8.9.1/octave-forge/__imagemagick__.oct
error: evaluating argument list element number 2

error: near line 11 of file `/usr/local/share/octave/2.9.9/m/startup/octaverc'
**

Next, when I type a simple Matlab-like plotting command I get the following errors:

**
octave:1> sombrero(25)

  syntax error

error: evaluating if command near line 39, column 3
error: called from `sombrero' in file `/usr/local/share/octave/2.9.9/m/plot/sombrero.m'

Can anyone tell me what's going on?  Please help!  Thanks!!

Jon
