<div>It seems to me that your TeX cannot find your Gnuplot. I suggest
that you check the symlink and the location of the Gnuplot app. In
particular, the last two steps in the instructions I wrote on 14/9/08
(credit for these steps to Vic Norton):</div>

<div>This assumes that your Gnuplot.app is actually where this path
points to. On my desktop machine Gnuplot.app is in a folder (I don't
know why, maybe this is how it came out of the Octave dmg) called
GnuPlot so my symlink there points to</div>

<div>Maybe the safest way is to drill down to gnuplot within the
Gnuplot package, navigate to /usr/local/bin in terminal, type sudo ln
-sf and then drop gnuplot on the terminal. The path then
would be appended to complete the symlink command.</div>
