Problem fixed. Thanks Alex. I had been using finkproject.org and 'fink list' to search for packages, but didn't realize that old versions might not be listed. I now see the 'fink dumpinfo -fallversions' trick described in the man page... Best regards, Charles > On 2016 Jun 07, , at 7:04 PM, A

Hi Guys, Thanks for all your help last year. This gnuplot/octave problem has cropped up again. Under OSX 10.11, the only gnuplot available is 5.0-3. My saved plots are again all black. Would it be possible to make gnuplot 4.6.x available again? All the best, Charles > On 2015 Apr 26, , at 4:0

Thanks Ben & Alex. I must confess the example at the finkers blog was unclear to me (I don't normally use apt-get or binaries), but in the end all I did was % fink remove -r gnuplot % fink install gnuplot-4.6.6 % fink install octave Before the above fix, the octave example below would save a com
