Thanks.  It still builds fine, and there is now a smooth error exit if
you try to use the driver inappropriately.

Linux builds both static and shared library versions:

cd plplot/tmp
ls -l libplplot*
-rw-r--r--    1 software software  3010606 Jul 11 07:35 libplplotd.a
lrwxrwxrwx    1 software software       15 Jul 11 07:36 libplplotd.so -> libplplotd.so.5*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 software software       19 Jul 11 07:36 libplplotd.so.5 -> libplplotd.so.5.1.0*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 software software  1279373 Jul 11 07:36 libplplotd.so.5.1.0*

wish
% load libplplotd.so Plplotter
invalid command name "pldefaults"

So it seems to be finding the library, but something is wrong with the
initialization procedure that is invoked by Plplotter.  BTW, I get the same
message if I use "load libplplotd.so" (with Plplotter dropped) instead or
if I use the full name libplplotd.so.5.1.0 instead of the symlink.
