#36508: plotutils: plot -T X: the plot device could not be created ------------------------+------------------- Reporter: sugar@… | Owner: snc@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: plotutils | ------------------------+------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: sugar@… (removed) * keywords: plot => * owner: macports-tickets@… => snc@… * type: request => defect * port: => plotutils Old description:
I have a new MacBookPro retina running OSX 10.8.2. I have installed XQuartz 2.7.4, Xcode 4.5, command line tools for Xcode 4.5 and graphics jtools for Xcode 4.4. I then installed MacPorts and used it to install several ports including the plotutils. The executable "plot" creates postscript files without difficulty. For example (input is a file containing two columns of numbers):
graph input | plot -T ps > ouput.ps
produces a standard postscript file. However, the command
graph input | plot -T X
gives the following error message:
libplot: ignoring request to create plotter of unknown type plot: error: the plot device could not be created
Any suggestions as to how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Bob Sugar
