Hello, I tested this just now. Installing plotutils without the x11
variant results in the same error you saw in your other thread

libplot: ignoring request to create plotter of unknown type
Segmentation fault

I reinstalled plotutils, this time with +x11 (I did not reinstall
biggles). Then I ran the example at
http://biggles.sourceforge.net/?example=2 and successfully generated
an xplot window in x11.

Therefore, I think your X11 installation may have a problem (likely
that some files are linking to the wrong libraries). I think that
biggles is fine, but plotutils is where the problem begins. What is
the output of otool -L /opt/local/bin/plot ?
