Re: gnuplot 4.2 and aquaterm

[Daniel F. <boy...@gm...>]

Hi Joe,

Thanks for that, this seems quite strange but probably means I'm  
doing something wrong! I just replaced the old version with the new  
developer version (4.2 rc1) in /usr/local/bin and left my system  
configuration the same too. gnuplot 4.2 rc1 gives out the following  
when started:

set term aqua
          ^
".gnuplot", line 1: unknown or ambiguous terminal type; type just  
'set terminal' for a list

Pretty clear then that my version at least don't know what aqua term  
is! Also, in the 'help set term' documentation aqua is not listed as  
an option.

I pulled it from cvs, the actually version of is:
$Revision: 1.16 $, dated $Date: 2006/09/10 10:43:50 $.

I'm running MacOS 10.4.8 with XCode 2.4 on a 1.5Ghz G4 PPC.

Regards,

Daniel.
