Sounds like this version of psfex is not compatible with the version of plplot we currently have in MacPorts. See #34746 for a similar error in another port. The error should be reported to the developers of psfex so that they can fix it and release a new version, to which we can then update the port.

Has duplicate #44896.

Like ryandesign said, this is a psfex issue. I get the same error if I try to build psfex 3.17.1 outside of Macports and link against plplot 5.10.0.

The issue is reported in the psfex forum here: ​http://www.astromatic.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=1007&pid=2821#pid2821

Could someone with commit rights please add the --disable-plplot flag to configure?

I've verified that psfex then works OK and I think few people use the plplot plotting stuff anyways.
