I am successfully using octave, gnuplot and Aquaterm together. The gnuplot I have is just Version 3.8h patchlevel 0 and was installed via fink. Everything works fine (in octave, just say gset terminal aqua). So I'd guess that you'll be fine by just doing fink selfupdate and then fink install(/udpdate) octave (which I think automatically installs gnuplot as well). Aquaterm is very nice because you can save vector-quality PDF (not EPS in my version) directly from the graphics window. I can recommend it... not as a substitute for XFree86 but because it just interfaces easily with the PDF based Aqua world.
One thing that I haven't been able to do (I only tried once yesterday) was to compile the mawrap wrappers of CPGPLOT for the octave system (http://www-lnc.usc.edu/~holt/matwrap/). If someone has a working recipe on how to call mkoctfile with the right arguments to make that work, I'd apreciate it.

Martin,
I've made some successful tests with octave-gnuplot-XDarwin. I would like to test octave-gnuplot-Aquaterm . But I don't find where I can download the gnuplot 3.8h.0-4 version . I can't access to the � http://www.gnuplot.vt.edu/ site.
If I build gnuplot 3.8h.0-4 version does Fink desinstall the gnuplot 3.7.1.4 ?
Thanks.

I've XFree86-base(no server) , gnuplot 3.7.1.4 & octave installed via fink . octave is running but plot does'nt work because gnuplot is not running.
What is the easiest for me (newbie with Unix) continue with X11 or switch to gnuplot 3.8h.0-4 & AquaTerm . I d'nt need X11 for other projects.
It's certainly easier to copy the gnuplot 3.8h.0-4.{info,patch} files to your fink/dist/local tree and fink rebuild gnuplot than to install a complete X11 package just for this purpose. Also running everything inside Quartz is kind of nice.
OTOH, AquaTerm is a very new baby, and I don't know if many people have tried it out with gnuplot and octave. In comparison, octave-gnuplot-xterm is an old seasoned team, and you won't have many surprises there.
