[Maxima-discuss] Problem installing on a Mac

[Jorge C. <Jor...@av...>]

Dear Maxima gurus:

One of my students is having trouble installing Maxima on her Mac (running OS 10.10.3 Yosemite).  She has downloaded the appropriate files and successfully completed the first two steps in the .rtf (installing Maxima and installing wxMaxima).  The difficulty comes when she tries to install GNUPLOT.  When she runs GNUPLOT she gets the following error in the Terminal window:

OSXs-MacBook-Pro:~ Admin$ exec '/Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot'
/Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot: line 61:   397 Illegal instruction: 4  GNUTERM="${GNUTERM}" GNUPLOT_HOME="${GNUPLOT_HOME}" PATH="${PATH}" DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}" HOME="${HOME}" GNUHELP="${GNUHELP}" DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH="${DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH}" GNUPLOT_PS_DIR="${GNUPLOT_PS_DIR}" DISPLAY="${DISPLAY}" GNUPLOT_DRIVER_DIR="${GNUPLOT_DRIVER_DIR}" "${ROOT}/bin/gnuplot-5.0.0" "$@"

[Process completed]

I had her install the X11 libraries (Xquartz), but the error persists.  We also tried the fix noted in the .rtf for a possible “error regarding ‘DISPLAY :0.0’” to no avail.  This is the first time I encounter this error and do not know how to proceed.  Any ideas for a fix would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

Jorge
