Hi!
I tried brew install gnuplot --with-aquaterm --with-qt and i got the following error:

Error: invalid option: --with-aquaterm. Do you know why? I am using Mac OS Mojave.

Thank you very much :)

I see same problem.
i don't know what resolve it...

The Brew implementation of gnuplot is not really usable because it no longer supports the necessary terminals (e.g., you can no longer provide --with-aquaterm or --with-x11 during installation).

However, the MacPorts package manager has a usable install for gnuplot (it's safe to have both Brew and MacPorts installed). https://www.macports.org/

After installing AquaTerm, I used the following to install gnuplot, and all is working as expected:

sudo port install gnuplot +aquaterm

I'm using macOS Mojave 10.14.4.

Thank you richardj311, this solution worked for me

The problem is that gd2 did not install. It stops when configuring.

I am using BigSur

The gd2 was not installing at all. There was problem when configuring.
So I could not install gnuplot with macports

I solved it by doing

sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
sudo xcode-select --install
