Step 2: Replace /Applications/AquaTerm.app with /Applications/MacPorts/AquaTerm.app.

INSTALL AQUATERM BREW 64 BIT

This will ensure that the correct 64 bit AquaTerm libraries get referenced by the gnuplot compilation

Step 1: Replace /Library/Frameworks/amework with /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/amework.

We will replace two folders from the darwinports version to the previously installed AquaTerm.

This will also install the application under /Applications/MacPorts/ Now install AquaTerm again from Darwinports – this port has the correct patches needed – and more importantly – builds a 64 bit version by default.This step is to basically setup the right folders and symlinks so that you do not have to muck with these later First install the default binary for AquaTerm from SourceForge and install normally.However, there is a easier way to get around this situation. In such a case, the gnuplot compilation does succeed – however, the default terminal becomes the X11 version – which is back to square-one.Ī darwinports port does exist for gnuplot – however, as mentioned in an earlier post, this port seems to depend on half of the port repository (i.e., a ton of stuff you do NOT want gets installed as well). However, on OS X Snow Leopard, there is a catch – the version of AquaTerm is 32 bit, whereas the default compilation of gnuport results in a 64-bit version – which is not able to load the 32-bit libaquaterm dynamic libraries. In addition, the AquaTerm.app itself resides in /Applications. This local compile requires that AquaTerm be installed so that the library dependencies for aquaterm exists in:Īnd the corresponding headers are available at: While the X11 terminal is a satisfactory GUI view for the graphs, I prefer to use the AquaTerm terminal on OSX as it is more ‘Mac-like’ and feels more natural.Īlso, I do prefer to compile gnuplot by myself on OSX rather than downloading the pre-packaged binaries – as this gives me more control over the compilation (including getting around the stupid Apple readline bug – where Apple has essentially shipped a broken readline by using libedit to emulate the non-existent libreadline). The gnuplot graphing utility has always had excellent support for multiple terminal types.
