I cannot help you with 5.1.0, but you might want to try the recently
released PLplot 5.2.0.  (See the recent announcement on plplot-general.)
Shared libraries worked fine with PLplot-5.2.0 for the minimal Solaris
system (without tcl/tk) that I had at my disposal for testing.  I would be
most interested in your report (positive or negative) about whether you can
get PLplot 5.2.0 to work with tcl/tk on Solaris.
