plotutils: plot -T X: the plot device could not be created — at Version 1

Reported by: sugar@… Owned by: snc@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.1.2
Keywords: Cc:
Port: plotutils

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I have a new MacBookPro retina running OSX 10.8.2. I have installed XQuartz 2.7.4, Xcode 4.5, command line tools for Xcode 4.5 and graphics jtools for Xcode 4.4. I then installed MacPorts and used it to install several ports including the plotutils. The executable "plot" creates postscript files without difficulty. For example (input is a file containing two columns of numbers): 

graph input | plot -T ps > ouput.ps

produces a standard postscript file. However, the command 

graph input | plot -T X

gives the following error message: 

libplot: ignoring request to create plotter of unknown type
plot: error: the plot device could not be created

Any suggestions as to how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Bob Sugar

FWIW I get the same, on the same system (but with xorg-server instead of Xquartz).
