Here are the symlinks in plplot/tmp
ls -l run*.tcl
lrwxrwxrwx    1 software software       30 Jul 11 10:06 runAllDemos.tcl -> ../examples/tk/runAllDemos.tcl
lrwxrwxrwx    1 software software       35 Jul 11 10:07 runExtendedDemos.tcl -> ../examples/tk/runExtendedDemos.tcl

Here is my wish results from that same directory:

wish
% load libplplotd.so Plplotter
invalid command name "pldefaults"
% package provide Plplotter 5.1.0
% pwd
/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/plplot_working3/tmp
% source runAllDemos.tcl
couldn't change working directory to "./../tcl": no such file or directory

somehow your scripts aren't handling the symlinks correctly so I tried
directly accessing the file:

% pwd
/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/plplot_working3/tmp
% source ../examples/tk/runAllDemos.tcl
invalid command name "plframe"
% pwd
/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/plplot_working3/examples/tcl

So the script in examples/tk was found and it changed the working directory
to examples/tcl, but it cannot seem to find plframe, and presumably that is
why there is still a blank wish gui being displayed.

Note I also tried ? and no command name starting with pl is accessible
including plframe.  So I am beginning to think the first error message:

invalid command name "pldefaults"

is more meaningful than you thought.  My guess is the load command above
is not working at all since no pl* commands are available after that load.
If you don't trust the ? results, I also tried

% plinit
invalid command name "plinit"

and surely that should be accessible after "load libplplotd.so Plplotter"?

I have a strong sense of deja vu.  It's been a couple of years, but didn't
we go through this for my attempts to Linux-test the TEA-based branch?
