OK.

setenv PL_LIBRARY .

made everything work fine in plplot/tmp.  You will probably have to set that
environment variable to something else for the installed version to work on
Linux if you use a non-standard prefix.  Anyhow, because everything is
working I committed your 11 file changes to CVS.  I am afraid I used one
giant commit with a rather generic commit message for all 11 files because I
didn't follow the details of your changes, but in future to make it easier
for all of us to follow the changes it would be better to have more
fine-grained commit messages appropriate to much smaller groups of files
that were being committed at one time.

Vince, you are a full member of the core developer team for plplot so I
assume you have full access to cvs.  I was glad to help in this case to get
the line-endings right, but I assume you can do that for yourself from now
on.  Therefore I am going to ignore your subsequent patch since you can put
that into cvs yourself.

Note the informal rule on file line endings is Linux/Unix line endings "nl"
everywhere in the tree except the windows specific part of the tree such as
sys/win32/msdev/ where windows line endings "cr nl" should be used.  I
have Linux programmes that change Linux line endings to windows line endings
and I use the tr command to go from windows line endings to Linux line
endings.  Here is the c code for Linux to windows, and I am sure you
can adapt it to go the other way (or use the tr command if that is available
on your system).

#include <stdio.h>
/* copy input to output exactly except for translating \n to \r\n.
 * Thus, this code is a utility for translating a file from unix line
 * termination to windows line termination.
 */

main()
{
   int c;
   int cr = '\r';
   while ((c = getchar()) != EOF)
   {
     if (c == '\n') putchar(cr);
     putchar(c);
   }
}


Happy Canada Day!
