I’ve this version installed with MacPorts:


	G N U P L O T
	Version 6.0 patchlevel 2    last modified 2024-12-19 

	Copyright (C) 1986-1993, 1998, 2004, 2007-2024
	Thomas Williams, Colin Kelley and many others

	gnuplot home:     http://www.gnuplot.info
	faq, bugs, etc:   type "help FAQ"
	immediate help:   type "help"  (plot window: hit 'h')

	Terminal type is now x11

I just tried and both x11 and wxt are working properly

gnuplot> set term wxt

Terminal type is now 'wxt'
Options are '0 enhanced'
gnuplot> 

I tried a simple plot sin(x) in both terminals and it came out properly. What is the error that you get?

This is the version installed on my Mac (M1, Sequoia):

port installed | grep gnuplot
gnuplot @6.0.2_0+aquaterm+luaterm+pangocairo+qt5+wxwidgets+x11 (active)

But, digging in my memory, I had once installed gnuplot forgetting to add the +x11 option, and added that option in a later installation. Not sure if it was on my computer, where I just made the check, and not sure if this two-steps installation could make a difference...

Ciao
