hello all,

Has anyone gotten femlisp and gnuplot working on OSX? I have
successfully installed and ran (femlisp-demos) but as I go through the
demo process I continuously get <plot suppressed> whenever I am
expecting a plot. I have gnuplot in my path and i have run it in both
xterm and with osx-terminal.

btw, new to lisp.

Jason

Hello Jason,

Femlisp uses Gnuplot only for simple plotting of graphs, i.e.

(plot '(#(1 2) #(2 3)))

should give a line. For other plots, it uses OpenDX which can be easily
installed on OS X (Fink: package "dx").

HTH, Nicolas

And before this is going to work, you have to enable plotting (which was
automatically disabled when loading Femlisp, because DX was not found)
using

(setq fl.plot::*plot* t)
