good to know. so I only have to find out to make it work here too :).

"wxt" is just not there (and not listed by `set term').

same here, allegedly :|

gnuplot @6.0.2_0+aquaterm+luaterm+pangocairo+qt5+wxwidgets+x11 (active)

exactly that's my problem...: it should be there. if I do

port install gnuplot +wxwidgets

this then makes wxt available -- but x11 then is gone. if I do

port install gnuplot +wxwidgets +x11

I am back to square one (x11 available, wxt gone.)

thanks. I will fiddle with removing and reinstalling if need be (unless somebody on the list knows 
the root course of the issue).

best,

joerg
