The new PDL install appears to work on some Mac OS X machines and the TriD module is ported as well. That should give you 3D graphics of some sort. I can't speak to the 2D graphing package other than to acknowledge that it is *outstandingly* difficult to debug software on a system one does not have. > I don't really care about the footprint or the dependencies.
