[Plplot-general] Problems with PLPLOT and Mac OS X

[Don S. <sp...@or...>]

Using the latest MacOS version of X11 (beta 3), I seem to have 
problems with choosing the X-Window option on plplot, resulting in 
the following error messages:

Enter device number or keyword: 1
X protocol error: error=8 request=1 minor=0
X protocol error: error=3 request=18 minor=0
X protocol error: error=3 request=18 minor=0
X protocol error: error=3 request=18 minor=0
X protocol error: error=3 request=2 minor=0
X protocol error: error=9 request=55 minor=0
X protocol error: error=9 request=55 minor=0
X protocol error: error=9 request=14 minor=0
Error in XCreatePixmap: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter).
X protocol error: error=3 request=2 minor=0
X protocol error: error=3 request=2 minor=0
X protocol error: error=3 request=12 minor=0
X protocol error: error=3 request=8 minor=0

If I choose the xterm option, the plot displays okay, but it only 
comes up in black and white.  This is based on plplot-5.0.4 which I 
think was the last version I was able to successfully install under 
MacOSX.  I just downloaded plplot-5.2.1 and tried to install it.  I 
ran into the following errors under the make step:

Any suggestions?
