Actually the weird thing is that Tk seems to install fine and artemis 
seems to run (and plot) just fine.  This would seem to imply to me that 
Tk is functional.  pgplot and also plots its demo files well.  The perl 
is apple's default installation.  dylib is the patched version.  From 
what I understand from Bruce, artemis recycles a lot of the code from 
athena (for file i/o and plotting at least) thus it is seems really 
strange that one works and the other doesn't.  I will try some more of 
the demo programs associated with the Tk installation to make sure they 
work.  With artemis seemingly working fine though...  Very strange, yes?
