Octave + GNUPlot + Aquaterm + Mac OS 10.6


I'm attempting to do all of my MatLab based homework assignments in Octave - the opensource representation of MatLab.

However, I'm having problems getting graphs to plot and I think it's a simple linking problem. I am running: -Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) -Octave 3.2.2 -Aquaterm 1.0.1 -GNUPlot 4.0

Here is an example of the errors that I am getting from my shell:

Mr-Buffalo:~ buffingtonr$ gnuplot 
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/gnuplot
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap


octave-3.2.2:1> f = inline('x^2')

f(x) = x^2

octave-3.2.2:5> ezplot(f)
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/gnuplot
  Reason: image not found
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/gnuplot
  Reason: image not found
error: you must have gnuplot installed to display graphics; if you have gnuplot installed in a non-standard location, see the 'gnuplot_binary' function
octave-3.2.2:6> 

I don't have the unix foundation necessary to trouble shoot this. Any suggestions/fixes?
