Why would gnulot be trying to use the 'aqua' terminal? It is
non-existent on non-apple builds of gnuplot. *That* is your problem.
Your script works fine(produces a plot) even in an old build of 2.9.17
I have on my current machine.
If you have a ~/.gnuplot file, that is the first place to look. The
next place I would suggest is ~/.octaverc and any project specific
ones you might have($PWD/.octave)
Regards,
Imran
