I'm still fighting with libraries. Since they are using Carbon
(abandoned by Apple & unsupported in 64-bit), wxWidgets 2.8 on 64-bit
macs are a pain. Moreover, using both wxt & x11 terminal
simultaneously is not possible.

gcc  -g -O2  -arch i386 -o gnuplot_x11 gplt_x11.o gpexecute.o
getcolor_x11.o -L/usr/X11/lib -R/usr/X11/lib -lX11  -liconv
-L/opt/local/lib -lz -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo -lpangoft2-1.0
-lpango-1.0 -lm -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0
-lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl

After disabling x11 terminal, I have built it successfully on a remote
machine, but since I have no GUI access, I won't be able to test it
for the next couple of days.

On the local machine I apparently screwed something up and I still
don't know how to fix it.

But I would strongly suggest to try to make gnuplot work with
wxWidgets 2.9. The version 2.8 will be probably be useless on Macs
before the next stable version of wxWidgets is released.

(I'm now trying to build qt4-mac from MacPorts to test configuration,
but as I already figured out, the terminal doesn't work at the moment
and it is unlikely that using another qt library would change that.)
