Gnuplot compiles fine, but when I try to plot anything, it just does nothing when using the term x11, as shown below: G N U P L O T Version 4.6 patchlevel rc1 (Gentoo revision r0) last modified 2012-01-17 Build System: Darwin x86_64 Copyright (C) 1986-1993, 1998, 2004, 2007-2011 Thomas Williams, Colin Kelley and many others gnuplot home: http://www.gnuplot.info mailing list: gnuplot-beta@lists.sourceforge.net faq, bugs, etc: type "help FAQ" immediate help: type "help" (plot window: hit 'h') Terminal type set to 'x11' gnuplot> plot x }{ The cursor just stays at the }{ mark above, without giving me another prompt or printing any error messages. I don't know where to go from here. Gnuplot does not seem to have any debugging options in the command line. Would anybody have any idea of how I could try to solve this? Thanks, Guilherme Reproducible: Always
Just to add some information, I have a very recent prefix that I reinstalled this week, and I am using all latest software from Apple (I'm on OSX 10.7.3, Xcode 4.3, etc). I also tried to install XQuartz instead of using the X11 bundled with OS X Lion, with the same results. It's strange, because it used to work until recently...
Just as I investigate, this seems to be more than just gnuplot. I tested all three versions of gnuplot in the portage tree. Also, if I try to open a file on vim with X support, it hangs until I do a Control-\ or a Control-C. When I compile vim without the X use flag, it works fine. So I think that the problem is not with gnuplot itself, but on X or OS X. Is anybody experiencing the same issue?
Oh, that is this issue: http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-alt/msg_9febc940d12628cad595de424622d5ed.xml

Thank you so much! I'd never have figure that out myself. I reverted libxcb to 1.7, as said in the reply to the message above and the problem went away.
