When you need LaTeX in a string, the whole string must be in LaTeX, 
started with "$" from the beginning, and ended with "$" at its complete end.
If you need to mix text and LaTeX as in your example, the text must be 
protected for instance in a \mbox{}.
For you example:
xlabel("$\mbox{frequency }(h^{-1})$") // will work
