I'm glad the preference file worked for you. It took a couple of weeks trying to debug the problem when it happened to me. Re the term setting: fink's gnuplot packages set the GNUTERM environment variable to 'aqua' because I at least at some point the default terminal came out as 'x11', and that wasn't good for folks using a build without X11 support. Any of the various override methods should work properly. I don't see any output line in wxmaxima from a plot2d command, just the plot in my gnuplot terminal. I'm not sure why. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
