You imply that there's an old ("Carbon") 32-bit library upon which 
wxWidgets 2.8 depends on the Mac. Could you tell us what library 
that is? This information might be helpful.

(My own view is that having gnuplot depend on wxWidgets is somewhat 
problematic. wxWidgets is a sort of "wrapper" which supposedly 
provides a degree of platform independence, but this seems to be 
fragile and I think it would be better to depend on GTK directly.)
