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

Comment:
FWIW I get the same, on the same system (but with xorg-server instead of
Xquartz).
