Yes - I'm sorry about that - we are in the process of rewriting
and reorganizing the examples package (you can see it's about
10 revisions behind PLIB itself) - so these problems are not
entirely unexpected!

You should find that if you 'cd' down into the examples/<libraryname>
directory and do a 'make' there, that more of the examples programs
will build - but some of them (notably that Quaternion test program)
won't build no matter what.

Actually, the Quaternion test was never meant to be in the
distribution at all - it was just something I was testing
with and didn't intend to ship out.

The version of the examples suite that's in the current CVS
version of PLIB *does* compile against the version of PLIB that's
in CVS - but that's in the unstable development branch and you
might not want to go there.
