/sw/bin is the directory where Fink installs software, so it probably
would be there only when you install it through fink.
On my system (Panther) wish is in /usr/bin. In the past I did install
Tcl/Tk from a binary installer that I downloaded from the Tcl site
(http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/). Perhaps you should install that.
On my computer plot2d just works, but it starts up gnuplot that I installed
separately (with AquaTerm). I don't think it uses wish. But openmath uses
wish. You get that with plot2d(sin(x),[x,0,1],[plot_format,openmath]); I
think on your system openmath is the default and on mine gnuplot.I have
maxima 5.9.1, however, whereas you have 5.9.0. The default changed about a
year ago.
