Description

Hi,

I read the docs of gnuplot v6 and it looks like x11 terminal has *not* been dropped but is no longer available in the macports version. Is it possible to get the x11 terminal option back?

Thanks!

The x11 variant still seems to exist. Is it not working?

Right, but is the port installed with +x11?

Sorry don't know. I just did a

port install gnuplot

If there's a log file, please point me to it.

The developers of gnuplot clearly indicate (http://www.gnuplot.info/ReleaseNotes_6_0_1.html, under "Notes for packagers and testers" that X11 is no longer the preferred interface. So we removed x11 support from the default package. But you can surely still get/create gnuplot with x11:

port install gnuplot +x11

That add X11 support to the existing defaults.

FTR, you can check the installed variants with port installed gnuplot.
