[Jprogramming] JHS gnuplot

[Eric Iverson]

I don't know anything about that ncftp download. Note that it is from 2006
and is unlikely to be a version of gnuplot that supports html canvas.

I'm afraid you'll have to install xcode if you want to use gnuplot. The
xcode install is pretty simple. If I remember correctly you load the dvd
that came with your system (perhaps the 2nd dvd) and click on the Xcode
icon and the install is pretty much automatic.
