I see the following problem which leads to failure of "make":
make[2]: Entering directory
`/home/mikulik/work/Software/gnuplot/gnuplot/tutorial'

Even worse, it fails even during gnuplot start-up:

I have the following line in my $HOME/.gnuplot:
set loadpath "`echo $HOME`/usr/lib/gnuplot"
I don't know any other way how to get the home dir there (except for
GNUPLOT_LIB via shell's rc script); the "~" is not expanded.
This seems to be a consequence of
2011-12-28 Ethan A Merritt
Do not allow execution of system(), shell, or popen() commands in
the initialization files.
What's the reason for this change?
I think it would be better to avoid $HOME/.gnuplot completely during "make",
but allow anything during ordinary gnuplot use.
