The installation was succesful (MacOS 8.6 &CarbonLib 1.2.5). Though it
seems that no Numerical Library is included (no directory in Extensions)
and no Developper Kit (both options were ticked in the installation).

I made 'import test' and no test was run, nothing happened.

The installation of Gnuplot was succesful. Nevertheless when I try to
initialize a Gnuplot application  the following error is prompted
(including the Numerical library  manually do not change anything):

>>> gn=Gnuplot.Gnuplot()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "Macintosh HD:Compiler:Python
2.1b1:Lib:site-packages:Gnuplot:_Gnuplot.py", line 186, in __init__
    self.gnuplot = gp.GnuplotProcess(persist=persist)
  File "Macintosh HD:Compiler:Python

    self.gnuplot = _GNUPLOT()

    _finder.open(_application_file(('ID  ', appfile)))
  File "macintosh hd:compiler:python 2.1b1:mac:lib:lib-toolbox:aetools.py",
line 233, in open
    raise Error, decodeerror(_arguments)
aetools.Error: (-1728, 'e.g.,: specifier asked for the 3rd, but there are
only 2. Basically, this indicates a run-time resolution error.', None)
