That's odd...
The "other SuSE 7.2 systems" you refer to are my home and job suse-7.2=20
instalations ;-). Actually upgrades from a previous suse-7.0 -- that=20
could be the problem!

Perhaps the plot window is widthdrawn? Could you try (2 minutes) to=20
"./x01c -dev tk", and then, from another xterm:

[jcard@feup] wish
% winfo interps    <--- lists the existing tk interpreters
wish x01c tk
% send tk "wm deiconify ."   <----- deiconify the intermediate tk=20
interpreter; a small empty window should appear
% send x01c "wm deiconify ."  <---- try to deiconify the plot window;=20
it should appear
% send x01c "winfo children ." <---- list the windows hierarchy
=2Emenu .x01c

If the above does not work, please e-mail the error messages, if any.
Are you willing to try at least the "ntk" driver? just configure plplot=20
with --enable-ntk, then "./x01c -dev ntk"

We appreciate your efforts, they can be usefull for other users.

Thanks,
Joao
