Gnutplot and aquaterm – was working but now isn't

Hello everyone. I have developed a problem with macports gnuplot and aquaterm. It was running nicely a couple of weeks ago, but things installed with macports stopped working after the recent security update (I have Snow Leopard fully updated, including the last Xcode updates). I have reinstalled all my macports applications (three times now) and have no joy.

So, I have installed first aquaterm, then gnuplot. Then I launch gnuplot and get

$ gnuplot

Terminal type set to 'aqua'
gnuplot> plot sin(x)

It starts up aquaterm, but nothing happens; I don't even get a line feed. On the other hand, if I launch gnuplot and set term x11, then I get a nice plot working in the x11 window. So the problem is the interaction with aquaterm.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Martin
