Oops, I sent this to the wrong list so I am correcting that now.

Hi Phil:

It turns out that the correct *.pc file syntax to handle blanks in
pathnames is to quote all -L and -I options, e.g., -L"whatever blank".
Could you send me all the *.pc files (wrapped in a tarball for my
convenience) for the external libraries used by PLplot that you have
installed with " - " in the pathname?  Unless I am missing something
those *.pc files will have " - " embedded in every pathname mentioned
in those files.  And if so, then I want to check that those pathnames are
all quoted correctly.
