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 -- Respectfully, Dr. James K. Peterson James K.
