The first time, Octave returns the prompt as if something's been done, and sometimes the prompt doesn't come back. I did notice that the big download button on the sourceforge page points to 3.3 something, and not the latest 3.4.0, but 3.4.0 seems to have been out for months anyway.Īnyway, all that happens when I go to plot something is that aquaterm loads up, and does nothing. Tried doing it by the book again, as you say. (* - My meltdown turned out well last week, 91% for AI, but last day panics are still definitely not healthy! %-) I'd hate to not catch up with ML just because my mac doesn't "just work" with Octave). I'm having a meltdown (*) here, because all this poking about means I'm late for tomorrow's AI/ML meltdown now. I have to wonder if I'm barking up the wrong tree?!
When it turns out there's something else to download (aquaterm) and set gnuplot to somehow point to.
MACPORTS AQUATERM HOW TO
I thought that Octave would just know how to create a plotting window, or at least know how to call gnuplot since it was bundled with it in the DMG as an extra. No clue what the flags mean, but they are :ĬFLAGS="-m32 $/lib"įinally, I've used vim to edit my (previously non-existent) ~/.bash_profile to readĮxport GNUPLOT=X11 export PATH=/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin:/Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/:$PATH I've edited the /Applications/ML-class/Octave.app/Resources/Contents/bin/mkoctave-3.4.0 (symlinked from mkoctave) for Octave to contain the extra flags just after the block comment at the top. I don't know gnuplot commands though, and presumably I don't have to for ML. When it loads, gnuplot says it has its' "terminal type set to 'aqua'" - which is presumably good. When I load gnuplot at a terminal, it loads ok. so when I type octave at a terminal, it doesn't load. I use Inkscape so I already have X11, I'm pretty sure. Seeing a window to draw in would be progress at this point :( I'm not quite sure what to expect to see, but I'm pretty sure a window should be opening with something in it.
MACPORTS AQUATERM INSTALL
The help link there is from 2007, so I'm wondering if it doesn't apply if you've just downloaded Octave, and then discovered that you also need to download and install something called Aquaterm, although plot(x,y) in Octave still returns instantly and no new windows pop up from Octave or GnuPlot or AquaTerm. Related to this, the auto detection could be made more robust by also checking the version of the AquaTerm.app that is found to make sure it is the same as the library as different versions are not compatible and can lead to deadlock.Well, I didn't really see myself using vi on Halloween this year, but here we go. That way, applications linked to the MacPorts libraries in /opt/local/Framework/amework (or whatever it is) will call /Applications/MacPorts/AquaTerm.app, while apps linked to the installation from the default package in /Library/Frameworks/amework will try to use /Applications/AquaTerm.app. MacPorts could use /Applications/MacPorts/AquaTerm.app instead.
MACPORTS AQUATERM CODE
using Apple Launch Services based on the app creator code (AqTS)įor various uses it may be advantageous to make the default path (option 2 above) a configure option so it can be overwritten at compile time.using hard coded "/Applications/AquaTerm.app".using the environment variable AQUATERM_PATH.Currently, the AquaTerm framework tries to find AquaTerm.app in this order (see - (BOOL)launchServer in AQTClientManager.m):
