Murry, I (and others) have had similar difficulties with the j/gnuplot setup.
This comment from addons/ide/jhs/gnuplot.ijs rather understates the issue: NB. set EXE as path to gnuplot binary NB. set JSDIR as path to gnuplot javascript scripts NB. hardwired OS assumptions that may need tweaking I had to change the path values here and I suspect that anyone who wants to use gnuplot will have to track down where gnuplot and the canvastext.js script are stored on their particular system and update addons/ide/jhs/gnuplot.ijs.
