I have a Mac with OS 10.11.1, from which I ssh, using Terminal (with -Y option) to a remote cluster. Once on the cluster, I want to use gnuplot to generate a plot on a window that I would expect to open on my Mac, but it doesn't.
I have no problem doing it from another Mac with OS 10.8.
Why doesn't the plot window appear on the newer Mac?

I'm running Mavericks and opening a terminal connection to an El Capitan machine. Both fully updated. I am running vim that comes with Mac OS (vim 7.3) on the El Capitan machine. I am trying to change the cursor color, but I can't. It seems that Terminal is controlling the cursor color and making it gray. I would prefer the VIM behavior of inverting the foreground and background on a highlighted letter. If I go to Terminal Preferences, I can change the cursor color to something else, but I can't get it to invert ever.
I have tried to using highlight Cursor lCursor CursorLine CursorColumn... It seems that whatever I do, the cursor color is controlled solely by the Terminal application.
I checked the Terminal settings for "Declare terminal as," and it is set to
xterm-256color. Is there some setting to change, or a switch for the ssh command? This is only a problem when SSHing into another machine. Running vim locally works fine.
Please help!

Is there any way to get the linux terminal on Mac OS X? Without using any tool like Homebrew, can the same commands be executed effectively in Mac OS X also?
I've installed gnuplot on my Mac OS X 10.8 using MacPort, but as far as I understand, only AquaTerm terminal is available for me now (wxt is "unknown or ambiguous terminal type"). However, I need wxt terminal badly. Is it possible to install some patch with MacPort(or without it), so that to enable this terminal?
Uninstall your current version of Gnuplot and then install the +wxt variant of gnuplot.
port variants gnuplot to list available variants.
sudo port install gnuplot +wxwidgets to install this variant, but be careful it may conflict with wxwidgets_devel.
I have been trying to use macport's installation by using sudo port install emacs +x11 on my laptop with mountain lion, but every time I open emacs in terminal, it opens in the terminal without any GUI. This also happens if I try to open emacs directly in an xquartz terminal session. Has anyone had any luck with installing the x11 version of emacs on mountain lion? And if so, how? Thank you!
Turns out apple cut the link between terminal and xquartz. If I open emacs in xterm, it will run just fine. I found this to be the case even when I was using terminal with an ssh server. Looks like apple's terminal isn't going to be all that helpful from here on out.
Edit; I'm not sure if it was an update to xQuartz, but the problem has been fixed. When I type in an x11 app into the normal terminal app, it will open xQuartz as normal.
Does anybody know if you can setup remote connections in gedit(on mac os x snow leopard), so I don't have to keep ftp'ing up seperately.
I know it can be done on Ubuntu but can't figure out how to do it on a mac, if even possible.
An application independent solution for this would be sshfs on OSX through MacFUSE. sshfs is also available for Linux.
This sshfs with a GUI is also available via MacPorts.
There is also a possibility of automatic upload after each file save in Transmit and in Cyberduck (FTP programs).
