 I have a new MacBookPro retina running OSX 10.8.2. I have installed
 XQuartz 2.7.4, Xcode 4.5, command line tools for Xcode 4.5 and graphics
 jtools for Xcode 4.4. I then installed MacPorts and used it to install
 several ports including the plotutils. The executable "plot" creates
 postscript files without difficulty. For example (input is a file
 containing two columns of numbers):

 {{{
 graph input | plot -T ps > ouput.ps
 }}}

 produces a standard postscript file. However, the command

 {{{
 graph input | plot -T X
 }}}

 gives the following error message:

 {{{
 libplot: ignoring request to create plotter of unknown type
 plot: error: the plot device could not be created
 }}}

 Any suggestions as to how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.  Bob

Comment:

 FWIW I get the same, on the same system (but with xorg-server instead of
 Xquartz).
