macOS gnuplot autocomplete issue

[tangz4]

Hi,
I am not an advanced user in linux,
I used fink to install the gnuplot version 4-2-5,
everything was fine except for the tab autocompletion function that is usually available in linux systems.

I then tried to use rlwrap -a[password] -c gnuplot with limited success, ( sometimes it works and sometimes it freezes gnuplot and causes my cpu temperature to jump ) i suspect it has to do with password for sudo user is not entered in the rlwrap -a option.

Can someone help me with either the tab autocompletion problem, or give me some insight on how to use rlwrap without burning my cpu half of the time?

-thanks!
-Tang

The autocomplete funtion depends on a library. The software can be built with or without it. If you really want it then you'll likely have to build from source.
