Comment (by jrh@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 mojca.miklavec.lists@…]:
 > Oh, thanks for this extra diagnosis. I forgot to run "make" when testing
 earlier (outside of macports, I didn't really want random files ending up
 inside Emacs.app :).

 Well, the way I wrote the emacs_app variant, the files end up in
 {{{${prefix}/share/emacs/site-lisp}}}, not inside Emacs.app. IIRC that
 used to be required, but at some point the emacs-app maintainers fixed its
 load-path to include both {{{Emacs.app/Contents/Resources}}} and
 {{{${prefix}/share/emacs}}}. I think the theory was that eventually we
 wouldn't need separate "emacs" and "emacs_app" variants for other
 packages, but clearly there are still some issues when we need the
 executable itself and not just the location of the site-lisp directory.

 In my brief experimenting so far, I've found {{{gnuplot-mode}}}, which
 offers the typical syntax highlighting, and the handy {{{gnuplot-send-
 buffer-to-gnuplot}}}, which does what it says, launching gnuplot as an
 inferior process. There are a few other {{{gnuplot-send-*-to-gnuplot}}}
 functions as well. It appears to be the same Gnuplot Mode described
 [http://xafs.org/BruceRavel/GnuplotMode here].
