[romeovs@…]

Hello,

I ran

"sudo port install gnuplot"

and got:

I hope you could help me on this? I need the gnuplot to work for school...

I recently installed macports from a source file... I had to do this because the binary didn't work, perhaps this has something to do with the error..

Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting. You need to attach full debug output.

Do you have the lua port installed? If so, it may be interfering. I've seen this with some other ports. Deactivate lua, clean gnuplot, try installing gnuplot again, and then, if desired, reactivate lua.

sudo port deactivate lua
sudo port clean gnuplot
sudo port install gnuplot
sudo port activate lua

Replying to romeovs@…:

Also, what do you mean by this? In what way did the MacPorts binary not work?

[romeovs@…]

I've managed to fix this by totally uninstalling macports...

gnuplot now works fine!

just need to get my TeX to work with it..

Ok, glad you got it working.
