Martin,
$Version
"4.0 for Power Macintosh (April 20, 1999)"
The tick mark for the left frame side shows up with version 4 on my Mac.
However,
- Your rule for Frame should just be Frame -> True
- Your ticks1 and ticks3 are outside of the range for x
- Your labels for the bottom, left, and top frame sides are too close to
your tick labels and should be spaced using "\n"
- You have specified tick lengths which are slightly shorter than the
standard major ticks (0.006 vice 0.00625). If you want the tick marks to be
more prominant, make them longer and have them cross the frame edges
- It is easier to see the ticks if you increase the ImageSize
Plot[x*3, {x, 0, 10}, Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> {"\na", "b\n", "c\n", "d"},
FrameTicks -> {{{5,
"tick1", {0.01, 0.01}, {GrayLevel[0.],
AbsoluteThickness[0.25]}}}, {{17,
"tick2", {0.01, 0.01}, {GrayLevel[0.],
AbsoluteThickness[0.25]}}}, {{5,
"tick3", {0.01, 0.01}, {GrayLevel[0.],
AbsoluteThickness[0.25]}}}, {{12,
"tick4", {0.01, 0.01}, {GrayLevel[0.],
AbsoluteThickness[0.25]}}}}, ImageSize -> {400, 248}];
