Plotting with Octave after most recent MAC OSX update_问答_开发者

Hi I just recently downloaded the most recent snow leopard update. Then I tried to plot something using Octave which has been installed on my computer for months (and plotting has worked all that time) Even since I installed the update, and I try to plot using octave I get the following error:

error: you must have gnuplot installed to display graphics; if you have gnuplot installed in a non-standard location, see the 'gnuplot_binary' function

I'm really not sure what to do. I'm way out of my league here.

The "note for MacOSX users" is no longer on the Octave homepage, and the workaround described in Marco's post didn't work for me either, but this did:

Open /Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot in a text
editor. Use the editor search-and-replace feature to replace
"DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" with "DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH". There are four
instances that need to be replaced.

This is from the readme for the Octave MacOSX Binary. Note that it says it's for Lion users, but I'm running 10.6.8 and it worked for me.

I've recently build Octave and GNUplot on Lion using homebrew. Seems to work well. Here are some notes

Install Xcode from AppStore and HomeBrew (see Link)
Run 'brew install octave" and wait until graphicsmagick fails to compile
Run the command "brew install --use-clang --HEAD graphicsmagick". You might be asked to install Mercurial, just follow the instructions. You may also be asked to install fortran, so "brew install gfortran"
Run the command "brew install octave" again
Install Aquaterm
Now run "brew install gnuplot"

You now have the latest Octave installed. Just type octave from the terminal

To test the install run the following commands at the Octave command prompt

setenv("GNUTERM", "x11");
x = linspace(-10, 10, 100);
y = sin(x);
plot(x,y);

See the note for users of Mac OS X 10.6 on http://octave.sourceforge.net/. The changes solve the problem also in 10.5.8.

We updated freetype in OSX 10.6.5 and fontconfig, which links against freetype, wants this newer version. Gnuplot is failing to load because their developers are setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH which is forcing our libfontconfig to try using their libfreetype, which it cant.

This is a bug in Gnuplot.app ... developers should NEVER be setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in shipping products!

I had the same problem and took me a while to find the "note for users of Mac OS X 10.6". I copy them here:

NOTES FOR SNOW LEOPARD USERS

1 - mkoctfile

Since OSX 10.6 the Apple shipped version of gcc builds by default 64bit binaries As the libraries included with Octave.app version 3.2.3 are 32bit, you need to apply the following patch in order for mkoctfile to work:

1.1) open the folder /Applications in the finder 1.2) right-click on Octave.app and select "show package contents" 1.3) navigate to /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin 1.4) right-click on the file "mkoctfile" and select "Open with -> Other ... -> TextEdit.app" 1.5) right after the line:

 # along with this program; If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

add the lines

 CFLAGS="-m32 ${CFLAGS}"
 FFLAGS="-m32 ${FFLAGS}"
 CPPFLAGS="-m32 ${CPPFLAGS}"
 CXXFLAGS="-m32 ${CXXFLAGS}"
 LDFLAGS="-m32 ${LDFLAGS}"

and save.

2 - Gnuplot.app

An update to system libraries introduced with OSX 10.6.5 has broken the functionality of the Gnuplot.app included with the Octave.app distribution, in order to use Gnuplot.app on OSX 10.6.5 and later, you can use the fix described below:

2.1) open the folder /Applications in the finder 2.2) right-click on Gnuplot.app and select "show package contents" 2.3) navigate to /Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin 2.4) right-click on the file "gnuplot" and select "Open with -> Other ... -> TextEdit.app" 2.5) change the line:

 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${ROOT}/lib:${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="${ROOT}/lib"

and save.

NOTES FOR LEOPARD USERS

An update to system libraries introduced with OSX 10.5.8 has broken the functionality of the Gnuplot.app included with the Octave.app distribution, in order to use Gnuplot.app on OSX 10.5.8 and later, you can use the same fix described above for OSX 10.6.5.

I tried the above and it did not help. The source of the problem seems to be the version of gnuplot that comes with the Octave.app install.

I installed gnuplot directly with 'brew' and then I removed gnuplot from my Applications folder. Once that change was made, Octave was able to find the newer version of gnuplot that was compiled with the correct dependencies.

If you don't mind using MacPorts, you can install octave by the following command. And it will be a 64-bit version.

sudo port install octave-devel

I just want to share my experience regarding this issue.

I had similar problem today when I tried to use Octave/Gnuplot in Mac OS X (10.7.5, Lion) and none of the solutions above worked for me.

However I found another solution that did work, which is described in https://github.com/jyr/MNPP/issues/28. Basically, I did the following:

sudo cp /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.* /Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/lib

Mountain Lions can also install Octave 3.4.0 with the dmg and throw in the older 4.2 gnuplot instead from the Maxima dmg. Easiest, but not the most recent version. (A classmate's idea which worked.)

Replacing the 4 instances of "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" with "DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH" did not work for me on Mac OS X 10.9.

However, the second option given here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20MacOSX%20Binary/2011-04-21%20binary%20of%20Octave%203.4.0/

did work. i.e. using Gnuplot-4.2.6 that is bundled with Maxima DMG. Link below. http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-MacOS/5.26.0-MacOSX/

I just copied Gnuplot.app into /Applications.
