Ben, some possible workarounds. If you don't have AquaTerm installed, you
should get it. It is the preferred way to see gnuplot output on a Mac. With
this installed your gnuplot output opens in Preview.app and you can export
to other formats. If you have OS X 10.3.x, you can also use GraphicConverter
to change plot formats. You can find info on AquaTerm at

  http://aquaterm.sourceforge.net/

and a .dmg installer can be found there also, so no build is necessary.
