my installation of gnuplot on one machine ("macbook") is unable to use the X11 terminal. However, what seems to be the same version of the port can use it perfectly well on another machine ("ibook"). Neither installation is of the no_x11 variant.
My guess is that the problem machine does not have the X11 headers/ libraries installed. You could test this theory by looking at the config.log files generated on the two machines. Do a "port uninstall gnuplot && port configure gnuplot", then "cd `port dir gnuplot`" will get you a few directory levels above where config.log should be. Don't forget to finish the reinstallation with a "port install gnuplot" after you've looked at the config.log files! :-) Dave
