this Mac environment can involve Xwindow driver from another Macports
applications, install procedure of the latest plplot with Macports has
some trouble. Please let me know how to solve this trouble.

Hi Hiro:

Thanks for your interest in PLplot.

I note from
http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=library&substr=plplot that
x11 is one of the supported variants.  So probably your best
bet is to contact the openmaintainer for that port who
is identified as "takeshi" to see what is wrong with your
macports installation of PLplot.

However, if you wanted to try a build of PLplot yourself that was
independent of the macports version, and also much newer (we have just
released PLplot-5.9.11), we would certainly encourage that (subject to
our somewhat limited Mac expertise).  Start by looking at
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page.  In
particular that front page contents gives you access to Mac build
instructions and if in addition you use the wiki search box to search
for "mac" there are a lot of hits giving you access to Mac build
advice which various users have contributed over the years.  Thus, I
am fairly confident that if you have had any build experience at all
on Mac OS X, you should be able to figure out what to do from our
wiki, but if you have any additional questions that are not answered
there, please ask them here.
