I don't reproduce this error with wxMaxima-12.09.0 and Maxima-5.29.1
installed through Fink on OS X 10.8.2--I am able to plot in the
gnuplot/aquaterm, openmath, and inline graphic formats.
Have you tried the other plot modes? If those work then it's likely
that there is something unhappy in your gnuplot configuration.
