Once I found a download link for the correct version of X11 to install on my macbook I just followed your instructions plain and simple and it worked perfect. Thanks a million.

I was searching for a gnuplot binary and hadn't realized that octave provided one... Thanks a lot! Best, Daniel Well, that was really helpful.

I tried it but it only works when I log in as administrator. Typically I use a standard user account, and then I always get the error message "unable to open display ':0.0' X11 aborted". On the other hand, if I start X11 first, then plotting works, however, plots are shown directly in X11, not with AquaTerm. Do you have an idea what might be wrong and how it could be fixed?

For setting up the symbolic link I had to switch user accounts. It would only work from the admin account, and only with 'sudo'. Did you not have to do that? Re: AquaTerm problem

I finally remembered the typical test, i.e., create a clean new user account and see if that works. And it does. In other words, one does not have to be administrator. However, as mentioned above, to create the symbolic link mentioned in the post, the following command has to be entered from an admin account: "sudo ln -s /Applications/GnuPlot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot /usr/bin/gnuplot". Thanks, Toby PS: Octave
