Hi Irena:

I have changed the subject line to something more appropriate.

Note, a quick workaround for any problem like this is to disable the
relevant PLplot component.  So I suggest trying the cmake option
-DENABLE_tcl=OFF to avoid compiling anything to do with Tcl including
bindings/tcl/tclAPI.c. (For quick one-line annotation of each of the
PLplot components look for the string ENABLE in CMakeCache.txt.)

Getting back to the principal issue, it appears to me that gcc is
accepting all those "\n\" continuation lines in
bindings/tcl/plplot_parameters.h, but your Portland Group compiler is
not.  We will look further at this.
