Ben,
Yes I did use TextEdit to make the 4 changes to the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in
gnuplot listed at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20MacOSX%20Binary/2011-04-21%20binary%20of%20Octave%203.4.0/
So I reinstalled gnuplot.app, edited the file gnuplot using emacs and re-ran
Octave. This time no error message, AquaTerm started but no plot window
opened. I think that I'm only one step away from having this working so your
help is much appreciated.
