In addition to Alan's suggestions, you could try the following:

1. Start Tcl/Tk's wish
2. Type the command:
    pack [button .b -command {puts Hello} -text Hi]

This should bring up a simple pushbutton with the label Hi and
when you press it, the text Hello is printed in the console window.
(Type "exit" to stop wish)

If the traditional X programs and this wish example work, then
we can conclude that something is wrong with the way you start
the PLplot examples, though I can not see what is wrong. Unfortunately
I have no OS X machine at my disposal, so I can only make guesses
as to what is going on/wrong.

Regards,

Arjen
