Hello,

I've recently tried using the X11 terminal for 3D interactive options.  This worked ~2 years ago but I've only had a need for aqua term until now.  Below is the message I receive:

gnuplot> set term x11
Terminal type set to 'x11'
Options are ' nopersist enhanced'
gnuplot> 
gnuplot: unable to open display '/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.E35rye5Llh/org.macosforge.xquartz:0'
gnuplot: X11 aborted.

It seems that gnuplot is looking for X11 in a temporary file that has been erased.  I decided to upgrade gnuplot to 5.0.0 and point it to the correct X11.app location in /Applications/Utilities/  .  I modified line 294 of the makefile but still receive the same message - 'unable to open display'.  X11 libraries are linked properly.  Any ideas?

I should also mention that I updated XQuartz to 2.7.7 and point any applications looking for XQuartz to X11.  But that didn't help.

Also, x11 is a visible option when checking available terminals within gnuplot.
