Please try this again, I have just now committed some additional changes

That should not be necessary.

Thank you for that most useful report. I have now fixed these two yplot
demos, and everything should work properly now.

I suspect you haven't gotten all the Debian unstable binary packages that you
need.  For example, the tk driver is in the package called plplot-tcl which
you will need along with plplot-xwin and libplplot5.

For my Debian woody system I just build plplot from cvs (essentially the
results should be equivalent to a plplot-5.2.1 tarball build).

For that case, I cannot confirm your error report.  For example,
I have no problem with any of these commands from the yplot/doc directory:

../yplot -batch x01.i -dev ntk
../yplot -batch x01.i -dev tk
../yplot -batch x01.i -dev xwin
