Unfortunately, there is a segmentation fault for the build-tree 
interactive tests.
Here are the steps I followed (from the build directory) :

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$SOFTWARES/plplot -DBUILD_TEST=ON 
../../plplot-5.9.10
make clean && make
make VERBOSE=1 -j4 test_noninteractive >& test_noninteractive_build.out
make VERBOSE=1 -j4 test_interactive >& test_interactive_build.out

Corresponding files are attached. I hope this helps.
