Yes. It's just the X11 from Apple but with all the patches applied, where Apple for whatever reason decides to wait. XQuartz works very well for me, where Apple's X11 always has problems and bugs, so at the end Apple is wrong and the XQuartz team is right. > >> >> If it isn't going to work for most people on OS-X then I think we should >> probably set pthread=off by default. > > If it turns out that (a) Xquartz is not the standard version of X for the > latest Apple, and (b) the standard version of X on the latest Apple has > the > problem you found, then yes, you should turn off threading by default for > Mac (but, of course, leave it on for other platforms such as Linux). Since I can't test plplot with pthreads easily with the standard version of X on Apple we should turn it off by default.
