Thanks, that worked, except it should read:

load drivers/tkwin[d]_drv.so Plplotter

Unfortunately there are still problems, i.e. from the tmp directory:

$ wish
% source pldefaults.tcl
% load drivers/tkwin_drv.so Plplotter
% package provide Plplotter 5.1.0
% source runAllDemos.tcl
% couldn't read file "/home/mjl/gts/lib/plplot5.1.0/tcl/x01.tcl": no such file or directory

(note that $prefix=/home/mjl/gts in this case)

so clearly the demo is looking in the wrong place for the example programs.
Not even the right place under $prefix (should be
$prefix/lib/plplot5.1.0/examples/tcl). 

But at least this is enough to get started with it.
