path juggling in mtxrun or my bad carma again?
Hello, I have one version of gnuplot in ~/bin/gnuplot (the one with support for context terminal) and one in /opt/local/bin/gnuplot. My PATH is set to ~/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin inside .bash_profile The problem is that now mtxrun calls the second gnuplot in /opt/local/bin/gnuplot and complains about missing context terminal. If I run gnuplot from the same shell it works fine and calls the right gnuplot. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? Thanks, Mojca

Is the "~" in your PATH a literal "~"? mtxrun might have problems with that, it's always better to use the full path to your home directory.
Hmmm ... export PATH="~/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH" I have no idea who inserted the quotation marks here (and why). If I remove the quotation marks then it works without a problem. But I have never noticed that because it has always worked when executed from bash. Thanks a lot, Mojca
