This is at Bruce's pages for artemis, under 'contributions'.

Given Paul's message, I'm now confused.  Did ifeffit-1.2.5 build
for you? Related to that, what was the evidence that the binary
installer failed?

I don't see this behavior and have never had to start Aquaterm
explicitly.  I can run multiple Ifeffit apps, each getting a
different plot window and can close any of the plot windows:
subsequent plots will create a new plot window as needed. I cannot
close the Aquaterm App while running, as subsequent plots cause
crashes of the calling app (this is not unique to Ifeffit. Gnuplot
also crashes when Aquaterm is closed).  But this does not happen
normally anyway: once started, Aquaterm stays running for me even
after exiting all apps using it.

I suspect you still have a build problem related to the
iconf_pgplot script.  For what it's worth Aquaterm is the default
plotting device with ifeffit-1.2.5a-Mac10.3, but the X11 device
can also be used.
