Did you make your plt file on the intel mac?  I've noticed that ones I made on ppc give that error on my otherwise functional xplot84driver (in the fink package).

I tried byte-swapping with dd but to no avail.

I guess this is still the cutting edge of 1984 software?

     Hi,
     
     I've installed CCP4 on an Intel Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.10 using  
     the binary installer from the automatic download page. Everything  
     works fine and dandy except xplot84driver. This currently means I  
     have to convert every plot file on the command line using pltdev then  
     use Preview to view the PS as PDF, rather than just using the CCP4i  
     pulldown menu.
     
     Initially xplot84driver complains that libifcore.dylib is missing.  
     This appears to be an Intel compiler-specific library which I just  
     happen to have in /opt/intel/fc/9.1.024/lib, as I once evaluated the  
     beta release of the compiler. If I copy this to $CCPLIB or link from  
     there to it, it complains that it doesn't have libifm.dylib, which in  
     turn complains that it doesn't have libirc.dylib. Finally when all  
     these libraries are linked to and loaded, xplot84driver complains  
     about "Bad plot84 file format" and does not open the plot file. Does  
     anyone have an idea what is going on?
     
     Thanks
     Derek
