Josh,
I am running a MacBook and like you I tried Tikz. Here is the
different steps of the install :
- Download Aquaterm (package) from Sourceforge and install it before
Gnuplot.
- Download the sources of Gnuplot 4.2 which now looks for Aquaterm
before the compilation and install it. (./configure make
sudo make install).
Gnuplot installs in your texmf-local directory in tex/latex/gnuplot a
config file.
You don't need anymore to set the terminal in Gnuplot manually to
Aqua; it is done automatically by Gnuplot itself.
