Hi, there is an initiative trying to port many unix programs to Mac OS X, which is not that hard, since Mac OS X is based on BSD, but often the dependencies are missing. This initiative is called macports (based on darwinports)
www.macports.org and as far as I know, is it supported by apple. It's an alternative to fink, which I found out never worked reliable. Anyway, I was looking for plplot just for fun and was surprised that plplot is already included in with the 5.8.0 version: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=plplot I think we should also advertise that on our webpage and wiki, since the install of plplot becomes than rather trivial sudo port install plplot All missing dependencies will be downloaded (and compiled, like gentoo) and than plplot will be downloaded and compiled.
