Question Little help needed installing gnuplot on Mac OS X

I am using Mac OS X 10.4.9 and am trying to install gnuplot-4 but I run into some problems. Hopefully someone recognizes them and can help.

- I have installed aquaterm 1.0.1 and this works fine.
- Then I installed gnuplot-4 by clicking the installer package.
- When I then go into a terminal and enter "gnuplot", the following message appears:

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


I do not know what to do next. Can somebody help me?
Thanks.

What I did was use MacPorts and the PortAuthority GUI. PortAuthority helps resolve all dependencies, fetches all sourcecode and compiles it.

I suggest you try it.
