title: (Mac OSX) Adding libraries to C -specifically gnuplot
body: <p>I am a begineer trying to get code in C. I am working on a Mac and using xcode. My only past experience has been with java using eclipse and everything was pretty straight forward. I have almost no experience with terminal.</p>
  
  <p>I am required to learn a bit of C for a project I will be working on and the learning of syntax is coming along okay, but I am at a point where I need to include some libraries in my c program. Specifically I am attempting to make plots with gnuplots.</p>
  
  <p>I have downloaded gnuplot-4.6.3 from their repository and I do not even know how to install the files. I have been looking around and have tried using terminal to use the ./configure command when I am in the gnuplot-4.6.3 directory. But I really don't know what I am doing so I don't even know where to go next or what to do next.</p>
  
  <p>Sorry if this is so trivial, I honestly just have never done this before and I cannot find a good tutorial on what to do.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help you can offer.</p>
