Problems with gnuplot from marcports

[Marcelo Chiapparini]

Hi all! I've just turned off the "hide extension" feature in Finder. Thanks
to all of you for the help. After years of working with Linux, this is my
first time with a Mac... and I am loving. BTW, what is the  '"open" utility
Apple added to BSD'? can you point me to some information? Thanks!
