"no such file or directory" "gnuplot"

"no such file or directory" "gnuplot"

[Tobias Frischholz]

Hi there!

I'm glad that there's a mailing list which might help me with my 
org-mode setup.

Somehow I'm not capable of running gnuplot.
But first things first.

My system is an OSX Yosemite with Emacs 24.5.1 and org-mode 8.3.1 (both 
installed via Homebrew).

For training purposes I have tried this example:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Org_002dPlot.html

Upon hitting C-c " g, I get the following in my *Messages* buffer:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Searching for program" "no 
such file or directory" "gnuplot")
   call-process-region(1 13 "gnuplot" 
"/var/folders/f9/tl9s3mg13c71lshbwly9wk480000gn/T/emacs9W768b" #<buffer  
*temp*-822530>)
   gnuplot-fetch-version-number()
   gnuplot-mode()
   org-plot/gnuplot()
   call-interactively(org-plot/gnuplot nil nil)
   command-execute(org-plot/gnuplot)

I have gnuplot installed via Homebrew (brew install gnuplot) and within 
Emacs (M-x package-install RET gnuplot).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Best regards!

That seems like a wonderful solution - *Messages* isn't showing the 
error any more!
However: all it says now is

gnuplot-mode 0.7-beta -- determining gnuplot version ......
gnuplot-mode 0.7-beta (gnuplot 5.0) -- report bugs with "C-c C-u"
Starting gnuplot plotting program...Done

But I'm wondering where the plotted data is. There's nothing - neither 
in the org file nor in an exported LaTeX pdf... I'm really puzzled.

If you initial issue is addressed then please start a new email thread.

Include information about the version of emacs, version of org mode,
version of gnuplot, and walk us through the steps that you performed,
on what data, what you expected would happen, and then what actually
happened. That way we can try it out, too
