gnuplot x11 and OSX 10.8.2

I am trying to use gnuplot with OSX 10.8.2, and see x11 is an ambiguous or unknown terminal type. A bit of research shows x11 is not supported, and I download XQartz, but I still get the same error message.

I edit .bash_profile with export GNUTERM = 'x11' then try ln -sf /Application/Utilities/XQuartz.app/ X11.app as suggested here

But still the same error message. What else can I try to plot my gnuplot files (both on my laptop and from a server)?

Thank you.
