Hi,

I have been using MatLab for a class I am teaching for about 4 years.
I would like to start using octave, but I am having problems with
octave on the mac.  My students have no problems with the windows
or linux downloads, but the mac binary dmg file has issues.

The dmg file gives us the octave and gnuplot application which
we drag to the application folder.  But octave can not find
gunplot to use in the plot commands.  I just do a simple test
like

>> t = linspace(0,1,101);
>> u = exp(-2*t);
>> plot(t,u);

and the error we see is that gnuplot can't be found.
My students typically are point and click people from
biology and I can't ask them to do complicated things
to get the mac octave + gnuplot to run.

It doesn't seem to matter if their macs are old or new.

Could someone help me with this?

Thanks,

Jim
