I just received a new macbook OS 10.8 Mountain Lion and I have installed TeXmaker, MacTex, MacPorts and gnuplot. I compiled a LateX file that uses TikZ and gnuplot and got the following error in the logfile.
TeXMaker also stalls after the compile attempt and a force quit is required to close the app.
Versions:
TeXMaker 4.0.2
Gnuplot 4.6 patchlevel 3
Package gnuplottex Warning: Shell escape not enabled.
You'll need to convert the graphs yourself..
I have already added the following to the TeXmaker preferences:
pdflatex:
"/usr/texbin/pdflatex" --shell-escape --enable-write 18 -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
So I tried adding gnuplot to my PATH
echo $PATH
says:
/opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/share/python:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/bin/gnuplot:/opt/local/bin/ports
I tried running the following example in TeXworks and got the same plot error.
%& -shell-escape

Best Answer
I read your log file and it says you need to make the files manually.
I ran a test on my system since I haven't used
gnuplotin a bit. I ran latex and the.gnuplotfile was created like in your case.Next, I ran in the terminal
gnuplot /path/to/.gnuplot file(s). From here,gnuplotcreated two.texfiles. When I used another system, it createdtablefiles. Upon reading the manual, it may produce depending on your system and settingseps,png,tex,table, and some others.If it creates one of the files that can be used in includgraphics, you can do that. If you get
.texfiles, run latex again and the plots will appear. If you get a table, run latex again and the plots will appear.
