Hi Steve:

That file location is correct for CMake 2.4, but not correct for CMake 2.6
so I am pretty sure from the above result that you are the victim of a stale
build tree with some leftover CMake-2.4 build files in it that are messing
up your CMake-2.6 build.  Or there may have been some problem in 5.9.0 that
has been fixed in the svn version since.  So please start entirely fresh
with a pristine source tree checked out from our svn server with the following
command:

svn checkout \
https://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/plplot/trunk plplot_trunk

where plplot_trunk is the name of top-level directory of your new source
tree which will be created by that command.  (You should check with "ls"
that plplot_trunk does not exist before you run the above command.)
This svn version is the
one that most developers are familiar with so you will get our best help
if you use that version.  Also, to keep that source tree pristine with
no build files in it, use a separate, initially empty build tree.  To start,
go ahead and disable itcl/itk (since there are known issues in that case)
and also wxwidgets (althought wxwidgets works for me).

If your install still fails with a misplaced plplot.mod file for a pristine
source tree and initially empty build tree, then I will have to think again,
but the plplot.mod location logic works fine on my system for CMake-2.6.1
and the svn trunk version of PLplot so I cannot think of any reason
why it would not work for you as well.

In sum, I hope a pristine version of the svn trunk source code and an
initially empty build tree solves your difficulties.
