A question for the other developers: Does this happened with the
plplot-5.2.0 tarball?  It may be a problem with the PLplot Debian packages
only, or a bad combination of packages in your system.

Yes, this is the reason.

Just install both plplot-xwin and plplot-tcl.

Another question to the developers: does the tk driver needs the xwin
driver?  If yes, I have to add a dependency field to the Debian package.
