[pstricks] pstricks with PlainTeX

[Boos, Lynette]

Hi Everyone,

I got a new Mac with OS X 10.8.3 and installed MacTeX-2012, but pstricks doesn't seem to work now.  I primarily use (Plain) TeX, but when I looked for help in FAQs and mailing lists, the answers I found were specific to LaTeX.  So I downloaded a pstricks example file from TUG that uses LaTeX, and that doesn't work either.  Even after I put

% !TEX TS-program = latex

at the top of the file and ran it with LaTeX or XeLaTeX, it wouldn't work.  With the LaTeX engine, for example, I get this error message:

Any help would be immensely appreciated.
