Comment (by josephsacco):

 Ken,

 You are correct.

 I first uninstalled and then reinstalled one of the "suspect" build
 dependencies,  wxWidgets-3.0, which thankfully was available pre-compiled
 from packages.macports.org.  I then cleaned gnuplot-5.2.3_0 and installed
 it in "keep mode", to have access to the build tree. Once the install
 completed,  I then ran "sudo make check" in the build directory.  The
 rather extensive, visually stunning test suite ran without incident. "We"
 are pleased.

 One of the difficulties of developing software on an ancient PPC-based MAC
 is the amount of random-J cruft that has accumulated over the years.
 There was clearly something amiss with the version of wxWidgets-3.0 I had
 installed back in March of this year.

 Kindly mark this ticket as "pilot error".


 Onwards,

 -Joseph
