As I said in a previous email I am running OS X 10.4.11 on a Intel
MacBook Pro. My GNUPLOT was not ported from MacPorts. I was

Since GNUPLOT is a dependence of Octave, should this matter that
it was not ported via MacPorts?
If I port GNULOT now from MacPorts will it work automatically
with Octave?
Or do I have to make some changes to the .profile and .bashrc file?
MacPorts is supposed to only use its own software (e.g. its own
version of gnuplot), not any other version you might already have
installed. See:

As you said, octave declares a dependency on gnuplot. Therefore, if
you have installed octave with MacPorts, then the MacPorts version
of gnuplot has already been installed for you. You can verify this
by checking the list produced by typing:
port installed
I do not know what you have to do to get octave to use that version
of gnuplot.
Indeed when I type port installed it shows that I have gnuplot ver
4.2.3! However when I type gnuplot from a terminal window it shows
gnuplot 4.2.2 and "Terninal type set to 'unknown'". I'll have to
research this further. Thanks
