Hi David,
I'm not sure what's missing because I just saw in one of my student's PC 
that the Tk script for mgnuplot was not
found in Windows. I suspect that the starpack for mgnuplot is not being 
created because of a missing
target in the Makefile,but it could be that the starpack is hidden 
somewhere that Maxima cannot find it.

By the way, I fixed the problem with SBCL and Gnuplot in Windows and it 
now works, but it seems to me that
there is still an issue in Xmaxima which cannot open the socket to 
communicate with Maxima. If you can check
that it would be great and more important than the mgnuplot issue 
(fixing mgnuplot is already in my list of
priorities for after the December release).

Regards,
Jaime
