Well, I was on a slowaris box just to see if I could duplicate Joao's
problem with Fortran.  We have a g77 here called:

> g77 -v
g77 version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) (from FSF-g77 version 0.5.25
19991024 (release))

which I was hoping would be similar enough to Joao's to show the
problem (albeit this is a solaris build, not Linux).  However, I
experience no problem:

m4 -S2000 -B8192  x06f.fm4 >x06f.f
g77 -c           -O  x06f.f
g77  x06f.o \
       -L. -lplplot -ltclmatrix -o x06f  -L/usr/local/lib -ltk8.2
-ltcl8.2 -lX11 -ldl 
m4 -S2000 -B8192  x07f.fm4 >x07f.f
g77 -c           -O  x07f.f
g77  x07f.o \
       -L. -lplplot -ltclmatrix -o x07f  -L/usr/local/lib -ltk8.2
-ltcl8.2 -lX11 -ldl 

And the examples work as expected.


OTOH, I did learn that PLplot's configure support for Solaris leaves a
lot to be desired.  Besides the problem with shell syntax, it also
somehow dropped -lm from all the link lines, causing every C prog link
to fail (but notice that the f77 links above all worked).
