This, rather than the interaction of autoconf's --program-suffix mechanism
with how we install gnuplot_x11, is the root of your problem.  I've worked 
in an NFS-mounted home directory shared among *completely* different
platforms (x86/Linux, Alpha/OSF1 and Mips/ULTRIX).  My experience is that
the only way to get that working properly is --exec-prefix, because that's
exactly what this option is designed to do.

One --prefix fits all, but each platform gets its own --exec-prefix.
