The fix should be obvious by now, i.e. use sage-native-execute

The problem only manifests itself when using a system wide gnuplot, i.e. for example a Fink one. The patch should fix that. The experimental gnuplot-4.0.0.spkg in our repo is currently slightly broken on OSX since it calls Emacs at some point and then blows up due to the same libpng issues. Oh well ...

Cheers,

Michael
