No it doesn't. When you are running Maxima, plotdf will run the tcl
script xmaxima the same way that gnuplot is run by plot2d.

That's strange. It means that you do have xmaxima but for some reason
Maxima cannot find it.

You no longer need that command in 5.18.1

Can you please use "which xmaxima" to find out where xmaxima is in your
system?

It appears as if the Maxima init script has the wrong path for xmaxima.
Perhaps you installed maxima-5.18-gcl and xmaxima from different
sources?
