Aldric, one proposal we have been discussing on plplot_devel is drop the
library version altogether from pkgIndex.tcl.
Here is the result of ls -l in $prefix/lib on my system.

ls -l libplplot*

Thus, referring to the *.so library name will automatically access the full
versioned library under Linux.  Could you give us similar output for HPUX
so we can discover what is possible in that case?

Thanks in advance.
