What do

gdlib-config --libs

and

port contents libvpx | grep lib

return on your computer? I didn't update gd2 yet, but here it returns

-lgd -ljpeg -lz -L/opt/local/lib -lpng15 -L/opt/local/lib -lfreetype -L/opt/local/lib -lfontconfig -lfontconfig -L/opt/local/lib -lXpm -lX11 -L/opt/local/lib -lvpx -L/opt/local/lib -ltiff -liconv

and

  /opt/local/lib/libvpx.a
  /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/vpx.pc

which is apparently sufficient for the linking to be successful.

I believe this is an issue with gd2 or libvpx, not with gnuplot. Gnuplot just uses whatever gdlib-config --libs returns.

Already fixed. See r109435 and comment:ticket:39550:22.

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
sudo port clean gnuplot
sudo port install gnuplot

Wow that was fast. Thank you. Next time I’ll be sure to cc the correct people.
