You could and probably should test such 'not-quite-installed' packages 
where 'make install' is only an intermediate step towards building an 
RPM or whatever, in a shell with a modified $PATH, or in a chroot 
environment.

Yes.  It should render modifying TERMLIBS completely pointless.

More to the point, TERMLIBS is eventually auto-generated from 
configure's findings.  I.e. unless you're out to do something spooky, 
there should be no need to change what configure put in there.  It's 
easier to work with configure than to fight it.

I don't really know --- I personally don't do wxWidgets.  You may want 
to re-route this issue to the developers' mailing list gnuplot-beta on 
this same server (but please subscribe first, or I'll have to manually 
approve each posting, which can take a while)
