I confirm that set of options works, and we are back in a rational universe
again after 24 hours where I wasn't sure what kind of universe we were in
....;-)

I will need more investigation to see whether Joao's set of options still
don't work.  There is some ambiguity here because I realize there was a
possibility that my old "system" versions of autotools were interfering.
(My path pointed to the new versions, but some of the old configuration
files might have been interfering.) So the first thing I did was remove
those system versions completely.

(note the autoconf2.13 above which always adds some version uncertainty if
you are using the Debian versions of the autotools.) That is why I keep
urging Rafael to get rid of his Debian versions of autotools to be
consistent with the rest of us, but in this case it apparently does not make
a difference because I confirm his result when I am using the latest stable
version of autotools from FSF.

Fresh plplot checkout as of 16:46 UT.

I think you need quotes around the -I option to bootstrap.sh as above
(contrary to your commit message).  Otherwise, the $1 in bootstrap.sh will
just catch the -I and miss the rest.

rm -rf /usr/local/plplot_at

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/plplot_at --disable-tcl --disable-itcl \
--disable-python --enable-dyndrivers --with-double > & configure.out

make >& make.out
make install >& make_install.out

All the *.out files looked fine.

cd /usr/local/plplot_at/lib/plplot5.2.0/examples
cd c ; make ; cd c++ ; make ; cd f77 ; make ; cd ..
./plplot-test.sh

All these results are identical with the plplot-5.2.0 results.

Joao, do you confirm this set of options is working for you as well
(after removing all traces of old autotools)?

Next, I will try Joao's set of options starting from fresh checkout.
