Hi Mark, No judgement from me! It's quite a recent change, compared to the decades where PGPLOT needed to be present before PDL was installed.

Therefore, there is no reason for you to get PGPLOT installed first, before you install PDL (assuming you are going for 2.086+, and why wouldn't you).

A simple install via 'sudo port install p5.34-pdl’ fails when the package installer gets to p5.34-pgplot, likely due to this issue: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57726 On my previous two laptops I could overcome this by compiling pgplot separately with gcc7 and then installing pdl: sudo port install gcc7 sudo port install pgplot +gcc7 \ [note: this is pgplot v5.2.2] sudo port install p5.28-pdl +gd +proj \ [note: the +opengl option would fail] On my new laptop this approach hasn’t worked as the installation of gcc7 via MacPorts is no longer successful. I’ve thus manually installed pgplot v5.3.1 as described here: https://sourceforge.net/p/pdl/mailman/message/37197019/ . pgdemo1 to pgdemo17 all work. How can I now get MacPorts to use this version of pgplot (installed under /usr/local/pgplot/) when building pdl, rather than its default dependency (v5.2.2)? Thanks for your help! Mark
