Hello, I have gnuplot version 4.6 and am running it on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I want to output my file as a png (set output 'myplot.png';), but it is not listed as a possible terminal when I type "set terminal". I have tried doing it as a postscript (.eps) but my computer then cannot open the file afterward (even sudoing it open doesn't work, because apparently there's nothing in the .eps file). Also, when I type 'help' in gnuplot I get "Permission denied." I have installed cairo and pango with macports (with the flags +no_x11 +quartz +universal) but somehow gnuplot doesn't see them? It is very frustrating. I remember having some issues when I was installing gnuplot, but I eventually just let fink do the heavy lifting. Your insight is much appreciated! Thank you, Abigail

The set of supported terminals is determined at the time gnuplot is built.
You cannot add or remove support afterwards.
From your description, it seems that neither png nor pngcairo support was
configured into your gnuplot executable when it was built.

See above. The various support libraries must be already installed at the
time gnuplot is built. Adding them later won't help.

That is some totally different problem. Several possible causes:
1) The PostScript header files were not installed on your system, or were
installed some place other than where gnuplot is looking for them.
2) The headers are OK, but you didn't close the output file ("unset out")
in gnuplot before trying to view it.

No idea. I haven't encountered that one before.

Ok thanks for your help! I'll try uninstalling gnuplot, making sure that I have the proper support libraries in, and re-installing it.

For those who encounter similar problems, I uninstalled gnuplot, installed lots of directories like libpng and zlib and gd, and then re-installed gnuplot, and it works now!
