gnuplot and maxima on a MacBook Pro



Hello,
  I recently decided to try out maxima and xmaima on a MacBook Pro.

There were several minor problems installing it.

1. gcl would not install, and cmucl did not seem available with the
    package managers. I did not try to build from the sources.

2. gnuplot is installed and works in the interpretive mode. But I
    can't plot with gnuplot.  Nothing happens. There are no complains,
    just nothing shows up on the screen.
    So, e.g., plot2d does not work with the gnuplot format.
3. I have no problem with openmath, openplot_curves, etc.

Any ideas?

TIA,
  -sen
