I could fix the problem by installing the x11 variant of libplot and rebuilding biggles (the default variant of libplot does not have X11 support). Maybe the biggles port should depend on that specific variant of libplot ?

Seems to be an upstream bug. They're not detecting when creating an X11 renderer fails. They already have fallback code that renders to a PNG file and then opens it with the OS's standard handler.

Resolution: → fixed
Status: new → closed

Fixed in 1.6.7. r92754, it now throws a python exception instead.
