 Not sure where to turn to on this.

 It would seem a simple install from the Darwinports webpage, but when the
 instruction 'sudo port install plplot' is given, Macports installed what
 looks like an entire Unix system on my Macbook Pro.  What do Apache, Ruby,
 Sqlite and PHP have to do with plplot?  These are just a few of dozens of
 unrelated applications installed.  Obviously something has gone very
 wrong.

 Happy to send you the logfile (presuming macports creates one) to show
 what happened.  It has taken about 3 hours to install plplots with all the
 subsidiary junk.

 Leopard 10.5.8 MacBook Pro
